“…a portrait of a woman under the influence, hopelessly trapped.”

“…closer to A Very Murray Christmas than Lost in Translation.”

“…stares directly into the lonely domestic abyss to see if humanity can survive there.”

“…strong performances all around—including a powerhouse one from Carrie Coon.”

“…an epic of blinkered nostalgia.”

“A slippery, surreal experience…”

“…a cheeky, postmodern take on the standard biopic.”

“…an experimental dance piece as much as it is a surrealist short film.”

“Deren’s performance is one of the more defining elements here…”

“Deren took the dreamlike, intellectual surrealism of Un Chien Andalou and made it intimate.”
