"Equal parts disturbing and enthralling, arresting and miserable; a gorgeous slow-burn pressure cooker that culminates in a quiet condemnation of the powers complicit in women’s suffering while offering no catharsis."—Brianna Zigler, Paste Magazine

"A film without any predecessors or useful comparison-companions, a truly singular example of a cinematic mystery."—Savina Petkova, The Film Stage
