"Brody is raw, sincere, and commanding in a role that evokes The Pianist in too many ways to count, his skinny body and sloping face slowly drooping into a portrait of disillusionment..."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire

"Brady Corbet’s epic can handle the hyperbole. With his long-time co-writer Mona Fastvold, the actor-turned-filmmaker has forged a monumental parable about the false promises of the American dream."
Phillip De Semlyen, Time Out
