The end result plays out like a first-draft Black Mirror script hampered by plot inconsistencies. Go to Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media 09/05/2023

If he's looking to make a point about the patriarchy, it's odd that the film is mostly seen from a male POV, and so much time is taken on the camera roving over women's near-naked bodies. Go to Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online 09/01/2022
Bird proves he is a more than competent filmmaker; let’s hope he can take that talent and actually do something of legitimate substance with it next time out. Go to Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast 08/16/2022

For about ten minutes James Bird’s film crafts the right mold of satiric indifference in a misogynistic future, but soon gives itself over to generic action and none of the genuine debate of its more lauded sci-fi predecessors. Go to Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic 08/12/2022
Johnathan Rhys Meyers and Elena Kampouris sizzle on screen with undeniable chemistry resulting in sheer fireworks, whether they are speaking or not.  However, their combined electricity isn't enough to make this slow burn film palatable. Go to Full Review Mark Dujsik Mark Reviews Movies 08/12/2022
