Variety
The writing is so deft, and the actors so committed, that by the end you feel you’ve touched the burning core of something real. - 80
The Guardian
It’s an airless chamber piece, a self-assured gamble that pays off almost instantaneously thanks to the four impeccable performances at its centre, each parent processing, intellectualising and vocalising their anguish in different ways. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter

Entertainment Weekly
Mass, as maddening as it can be, still feels like an urgent and necessary movie, if not at all an easy one — and an exceptional opportunity too to watch four great character actors, finally called up from the sidelines to center stage, do what they do. - 75
