First-time feature writer-director Nic Gorman has delivered a suspenseful, engrossing and very well performed mood piece that marks him as a talent worth watching.

4/5

Despite it missing opportunities at times to explore this subtext with more vigour, Human Traces remains a surprisingly strong contender for Kiwi film of the year.

This is Christchurch filmmaker Nic Gorman's feature debut as writer-director - and what intelligent writing and directing it is.

4/5

This is a smart, entertaining, thoughtful and mischievous film with something on its mind and the confidence and know-how to say it. Bravo.

4/5

The debut feature from Nic Gorman is essentially a three-hander between Sophie Henderson, Mark Mitchinson, and Vinnie Bennett, providing ample amounts of empathy, gravitas, and pure smoulder, respectively.

If you won't face the challenge of making every scene and every shot present, the risk that you unavoidably face is that your thriller may be left without the thrills.

There's 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. Incredibly dull. Who funded this? I wouldn't recommend wasting your time watching this movie.

Captivating, mysterious, unique, gorgeous, thrilling and horrifying all at the same time. It's amazingly refreshing to see films from all over the world and places where you wouldn't expect. HUMAN TRACES thrills and also speaks to the bigger picture of what's going on in the world...this is a microcosm of what we are all going through and it played so well at the Toronto International Film Festival. Well written, proficiently acted and the cinematography is absolutely breathtaking. I hope to see more of these.
