Reviews


100
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
[Dano] gives his actors space so that the rhythms are their own, and they hold us through the tough final scenes and bittersweet ending. This is a superb film.
91
The Film Stage - Jordan Raup
In capturing the crumbling of a family and the scars left behind, Paul Dano has made a fascinatingly complex portrait of the fracturing of American ideals.
91
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
Dano crafts an unsparing portrait that’s harsh and humane in equal measure.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
The script dares to go deep and confront what is going on in the hearts and minds of all three family members, but it does so articulately and without hysteria.
80
Screen International - Tim Grierson
As a director, Dano prefers static camera setups and uncluttered frames, emphasising the mundane nature of the drama, which only allows the increasing darkness of this tale to become more upsetting.
