It’s an assured, deftly acted movie that builds its creepiness slowly and keeps its secrets well hidden till the end.

For the most part the film is compelling, with Jones' riveting performance as the alternately sympathetic and nasty protagonist anchoring the proceedings.

Slant Magazine
The film doesn't quite earn Jones's performance, but it engenders considerable goodwill for allowing him to give it.

Testin and Berg's work here is definitely promising, suggesting something better from both of them down the road.

Village Voice
As a suspense film, Dementia is solid but unremarkable, even considering its ugly snarl of an ending. But hidden underneath, the film has all the elements for a compelling, sharp-edged family drama.
