A strange and agonizingly engrossing drama despite its repellent subject.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

There are no easy conclusions here - no explanations. Events unfold with a random, even black comic abandon.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

What interests Schleinzer is putting us inside Michael's head, even though we're repelled by his activities, and his no-frills approach works.
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

Like its protagonist, Michael is deliberate and very discreet. It shocks by suggestion, not by display.
