Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
While occasionally unpleasant, the film never crosses the line from bearably chilling to unbearably gruesome, keeping its characters credible and its events explicable.
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
The resolution of its conflicting truths proves so bizarre and idiotically off-the-wall that it mitigates all that precedes it.
Michelle Orange, Village Voice
Strong performances and a Hitchcock-trained eye build unnerving tension into its depiction of the intimate stress of caring for an invalid and the ways people might or might not crack under it.
Norm Schrager, Filmcritic.com
an unflinching, character-driven drama
Calum Marsh, Slant Magazine
More concerned with the novelty of its three-act, "three-perspective" structure than with how that structure actually functions.
