Reviews


80
The Dissolve - Mike D'Angelo
Director and co-writer Zack Parker (Scalene) combines a Hitchcockian penchant for disorientation with a Brian De Palma-esque formal bravado, and he’s made the rare film that’s impossible to peg all the way up to its final minutes—a truly unnerving study in multiple pathologies.
80
Los Angeles Times - Inkoo Kang
Whatever Proxy lacks in narrative cohesion and psychological realism, it makes up for in its compelling fever-dream quality and its probing questions about the darker side of parenting.
75
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Increasingly silly even as it maintains a grave tone, Proxy doesn't always work, but its commitment to unpredictable twists and pushing beyond morbid extremes bears the stamp of showmanship sorely lacking from many other examples of the genre.
75
RogerEbert.com - Brian Tallerico
Parker has made a tough, brutal, and often riveting thriller.
67
The A.V. Club - A.A. Dowd
Proxy’s greatest attribute is its deliberate dismantling of the audience’s assumptions.
