"Director Darren Aronofsky and writers Mo Buck and Harry Wright walk a tonal tight rope with their latest film, which alternates between haunting and poetic imagery. At the very least, this one will get Mackenzie Foy's name back on a GRA ballot for her to continue her illustrious LRF career." - Jason Helm, New York Observer
"From a technical standpoint, obviously this verbosely-titled film doesn't have a ton of flaws, but it all cane across as incredibly cold to me as a viewer. I felt like there wasn't really a character to connect with, despite strong performances from Foy and Mortensen." - Glenn Howard, Total Film
"Considering the small-town setting, the film is surprisingly visually intricate, which could be said of all of Darren Aronofsky's films as a director. Each scene is clearly pictured here, with the black and white photography only adding to the unsettling tone of the story." - Matt Carson, Arizona Republic
