Reviews

This polished, well-calibrated thriller is a best-in-class showcase of the possibilities of cinema even with the most limited of resources.

Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com

...a remarkable, must-see thriller, and one of the strongest narrative features of the year to date.

Grant Watson, FILMINK

A claustrophobic thriller that finds fascinating ways to transcend, spiritually, its confines.
