It's gripping and provocative, making effective use of actor Charles Berling and the music of Sonic Youth.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

A potent film.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Fresh
A stark, unsettling movie, one that grows darker and stranger with every little twist in the plot.
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

Demonlover is so incomprehensible that you can't readily accuse it of being anything but almost unwatchable.
