      Village Voice

      It's an ominous, claustrophobic, unhappily sapphic work whose thunderclap of a climax instills terror and awe of the fates' petty, whimsical cruelties.

      Slant Magazine

      The film presents its tonal switch-ups and narrative swerves with a deadpan belligerence by turns stimulating, calculated, and poignant.

      The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

      If there’s a low-key disappointment to Vic and Flo, it’s that the film teases the mind and pleases the eye without requiring emotional commitment.

      The New York Times

      This isn’t, it turns out, the usual once upon a time, but a story about the unknowns that can swallow us up.
