Movie Reviews
“A familial psychodrama with well-crafted sci-fi elements and a pair of impressive child actors (…) surprising and emotional. Tomris Laffly: Variety
“To say [Ahmed] elevates a mediocre script would be a massive understatement, and his work alone almost makes this worth seeing” Brian Tallerico: rogerebert.com
- “It’s a gorgeous and heartfelt family drama, but it’s also a suspenseful and sometimes shocking paranoid thriller (…) Rating: ???½ (out of 5)” Meagan Navarro: Bloody Disgusting
