“This film is not as extraordinarily, deeply, overwhelmingly revealing as the two Souvenir movies, and thus, can’t sustain bigger flourishes or gestures as easily. It’s not quite as strong or as encompassing. But it’s still an engaging and even fundamental complement to what’s come before it.”
“Both Sides of the Blade excels when it most closely examines the patchwork of growing stratification and tension – from thorny silences which can erupt into heated arguments, to once-minor quibbles that suddenly come roaring up to the surface.”
“A cool and distancing sense of mystery can only take the movie so far, and when it comes time to reveal exactly what it’s been building towards, Poser can’t quite stick the landing.”
“A beautiful film in its direct approach, wanderingthrough its gently fantastical world while quietly revealing the depths of its insights, its connections, and its extraordinary emotional reach.”
“An unnerving, painstakingly observant story about trying to find a real connection or personal realization through the uncanny mists of the internet.”
