- 75Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniPhiladelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniA small, intimate micro-budget effort, Altered Minds boasts terrific production values, pitch-perfect performances, and an eerie soundscape of found noises that evoke the feel of a surreal nightmare.
- Michael Z. Wechsler’s The Red Robin delivers a quality mystery; a psychological thriller hidden within the trappings of familial drama.
- 70Screen DailyMark AdamsScreen DailyMark AdamsIt heads into strange and violent territory but is never overly comfortable there – it is always intriguing and defiantly left-field.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayA good mystery and earnest performances keep the movie lively, though the confined location and limited plot ultimately make the end product feel paltry.
- 50RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyHirsch is his usual reliable self, trading in on the warmth and trust he generated as a shrink in “Ordinary People” to keep the audience off balance as to whether he’s going to turn out to be a savior or a monster. He’s the most distinguished player here, keeping the movie grounded when its plot mechanics and/or O’Nan’s histrionics threaten to throw it off the rails.
