Every Time I Die

The ultimate payoff in "Every Time I Die" is too soft, given all the buildup. But the film works well when it's purely existential - just telling the story of a person with a hazy memory, trying to survive long enough to understand his own life.

The film bodes well for its talented director/co-screenwriter who might well achieve bigger things with a more generous budget.

A character-driven supernatural thriller that keeps viewers puzzling out what's happening along with its main character, Every Time I Die introduces a director and actors to watch out for.

Overall, Every Time I Die has a rather languid, sombre tone, which makes the occasional, rapid changes of pace and action genuinely unsettling, jerking the viewer into a sense of alarm.

With just a singular location and five characters Michael and Katzir hurdle us into a mind-bending metaphysical thriller that is, truly, remarkable.

A superior indie riddle and a strikingly singular film.

Every Time I Die could have easily been overpowered by superfluous gore or supernatural hokum but instead, it's a captivating little tale about self-image, with a mystical and poignant touch.

Even though it may not reach the heights of the films that have influenced it, it is certainly an enjoyable and worthy experience.

Every Time I Die lives up to both the evocative nature and the weirdness of its title.

The best no-budget indie thriller of the summer, maybe of the year.
