Proma Khosla IndieWire Jul 31, 2023
B-
At a tight 86 minutes, the film is visually compelling and makes sound use of its lead actors -- a solid debut for Winbush and ultimate victory for “Greenlight.” Go to Full Review
Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times Jul 13, 2023
“Gray Matter” is by-the-numbers, by-committee product. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider Jul 14, 2023
Nothing about the film is particularly memorable beyond the behind-the-camera real-life story that spawned it. Go to Full Review
Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Jul 14, 2023

Comes across like something retrieved from Stephen King’s wastebasket given bargain-basement “Twilight Zone” treatment. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Jul 14, 2023
More compelling in its setup than its payoff, the film more muddled as it progresses, relying on cliches and losing its grounding in reality. Go to Full Review
Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Jul 13, 2023
Gray Matter isn't exactly subtle, but it's no worse than plenty of other low-budget streaming-exclusive sci-fi movies. Go to Full Review
