Haunting, provocative, and a tense, alert experience. Yes, there is the pleasure of piecing bits together, of seeing why crimes are never solved (evidence burned, taken as a keepsake, lied about), of uncovering layers -- which is brilliantly done. But then there is the sadness of all those imperfect but intense relationships -- and the questions they generate, fail to answer, and leave you

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal
Stylish, highly accomplished and, thanks to its severely restrained palette, mostly off-putting. Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
As with her debut feature, "Blue Car," Moncrieff treats sensational material with a disarming matter-of-factness that ultimately makes a deeper impression. Full Review
