Meave Gallagher

Jorge Michel Grau's Big Sky masquerades as a psychological thriller, but underneath it's a meditation on the worthlessness of men. Read full review

This thing is one rewrite away from being something we’d remember. Read full review

John DeFore

The mental issues plaguing Hazel (Bella Thorne) aren't the only disabilities on offer in a film that sometimes heaps a little too much onto the fire, but Grau and his cast are sincere in their attempt to capture her struggle with empathy and dignity. Read full review

The film rests on the attractive but opaque Ms. Thorne, who is not ready for such weight. Commendably, she stretches her acting muscles, but Hazel’s internal struggle remains elusive. Viewers need more to connect with. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Evan M. Wiener’s screenplay throws in too many disparate elements without developing any of them very effectively, while Grau’s direction is slick but unable to provide the tension or consistency needed. Read full review

Michael Rechtshaffen

Aug 13, 2015

Director Grau seems to be making up the film as he goes along — never a good idea when tackling the sort of genre piece that requires building tension and some semblance of dread to succeed. Read full review

Kenji Fujishima

Aug 10, 2015

Jorge Michel Grau's ambitions are stalled by a screenplay that seems to have never made it past a first draft. Read full review
