Anton Bitel Sight & Sound Nov 9, 2018
The ink-stained results, messy and unnerving, are an introspective oddity and a dystopian satire of the individual's place in a closed political system. It's easily Hyett's finest film. Go to Full Review
Alan Jones Radio Times Nov 13, 2024
3/5
While the script would have benefited from tighter plotting, Arterton's bravura performance holds interest, and she's ably supported by Tom Conti and Rosie Day as, respectively, Bobbi's mentor and stalker. Go to Full Review
Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut Feb 10, 2021
3/5
British sci-fi horror about the connections between a writer and her computer, from director Paul Hyett. Go to Full Review
Daniel Goodwin Starburst Aug 3, 2020
2/5
The script shimmies into Cronenberg/Raimi terrain throughout the second act and momentarily improves, but instead of running fearlessly in this exciting new direction, it backtracks onto a more budget-friendly path. Go to Full Review
Keri O'Shea Warped Perspective Jul 31, 2020

Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Jul 20, 2020
Peripheral is a multi-faceted story that will satisfy fans of the body horror subgenre, but also many writers may find themselves identifying with the existential crisis that Bobbi finds herself in that may be driving her mad. Go to Full Review
