Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Jul 19, 2018
The cast, including Victoria Carmen Sonne, as the object of both Emil and Johan's affections, and Lars Mikkelsen, as the quarry boss, is uniformly strong and singular. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Jun 27, 2018

Bradley Warren The Playlist Oct 23, 2018
B+

Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Jul 16, 2018
