Luckily, [Clark] has a cast that elevates the puerility into genuine pathos and absurdity.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

Hollyman takes this woman's barely controlled dignity on a quietly brave, revealing ride.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

The White Reindeer is a deliberately awkward little movie, and it's a hard one to shake.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

A cool, kinky tale of sudden bereavement, sexual adventure and hard-won hope.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
