"Mortimer's latest doesn't work as well as a whole, but its various components and high concepts are enough to keep things interesting for fans of this subgenre."

—

Bloody Disgusting

"A messily subversive maybe-superhero film."

—

Little White Lies

"Aims for complexity by opening a door between worlds, but neither of them have any dimension."

—

Variety

"A critique of post-millennial journalism is one of several ideas raised but mostly abandoned in this genre pastiche, which never really coalesces despite some promising elements."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Writer/director Adam Egypt Mortimer is clearly a movie-mad soul, and if he can get a little further out from under his influences he may concoct something a more consistently geekily transportive."
