" Home Alone if re-envisioned by Michael Haneke "

The Guardian

" Its observation of the festering dysfunction tucked beneath the neat façade of the privileged American family is amply compelling. Charlie Shotwell is just astonishing. "

The Hollywood Reporter

" Calculated, precise and meticulously constructed, Pascual Sisto weaves a dark thread of humor through an otherwise high-tension situation. We laugh to defuse the pressure, because the vacuum inside John is so much scarier than the hole in his backyard. "

Variety

" A constant visual wonder. "
