An elegant, slow-burning exercise in narrative minimalism.
Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader

Polsler's film is quietly deliberate without ever feeling slow, thanks to a few handy assets at his disposal.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

It's a shudder-inducing original.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

This mesmerising, austere and contemplative film provides a rarefied yet utterly immersive viewing experience.
