Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Aug 17, 2018
Though occasionally overwrought in its ethereal tangents, "The Swan" has strong things going for it... Go to Full Review
Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Aug 10, 2018

6/10
It's unfortunate that The Swan doesn't fully catch fire as a family drama or a rites-of-passage story, but a film with such a rich and finely honed sense of place is one that nevertheless deserves to be seen. Go to Full Review
