Polygon
These characters move in a world that is stunningly visualized but superficially conceived, and The Colony embodies a genre that seems — perhaps like humanity itself — unable to take a step forward in imagining a different future. - 70
We Got This Covered
Ultimately, The Colony squanders a great concept and never takes it to fruition. - 63
RogerEbert.com
Tim Fehlbaum’s The Colony has many ideas about the future, and while not all of them quite stick together, there’s a few interesting aesthetic and narrative choices to make it something of a curiosity. There’s enough going on to capture your notice for brief stints before trailing off into dense plot details or well-worn sci-fi tropes. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Certainly lead adult actor Arnezeder has panache to spare, as does Bousinna, but the muddled storyline defeats them time and time again, no matter how perfectly angry/hopeful their lines are. - 40
The New York Times
Though it centers on one woman, anything we might stand to learn about her own developing values is quickly swallowed by overcomplicated narratives about secondary characters, corrupt colonizers and family secrets. - 30
Screen Rant
The Colony utterly fails as a thriller, and, much like the environment the main character finds herself in, is mostly a slog.
