"Heller intends to comfort more than to freak us out. This isn’t a horror film so much as a healthy allegory for anyone who feels differently after having a child."
Peter Debruge, Variety

"It is piercingly honest, remarkably sardonic, and breathtakingly brave in the way it lays bare some of women's deepest struggles and truths. But it is not a film that is anti-motherhood. It celebrates it as well, in all of its primal, animalistic, savage contradictions and complexities."
Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly
