The A.V. ClubKiva ReardonMar 19, 2015
At its simplest, She’s Lost Control is a tale of girl meets boy (where “boy” is the lead’s latest client, Johnny, played by Marc Menchaca), and at its potential worst, just another attempt to probe the line between sex and self though the figure of the sex worker. Read full review

She's Lost Control is a quiet triumph, a true herald of a distinctive and necessary voice in cinema. Read full review

Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaMar 13, 2015
Anja Marquardt feels the need to puff up her film with relatively artificial conflict that generally comes off as sops to screenwriting conventions. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyMar 19, 2015
[Marquardt's] film sustains tension and is arrestingly lit and shot, exhibiting a sharp eye for expressive compositions and a persuasive feel for the sheer alienating physical density of New York City life. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierMar 19, 2015
There’s a lot left unsaid in director Anja Marquardt’s chilly yet intimate and thought-provoking indie drama. But what should be said loud and clear is that actress Brooke Bloom is riveting.

The DissolveMike D'AngeloMar 18, 2015
Marquardt hasn’t thought of a unique take on this predictable scenario, she’s merely done an expert job of disguising it. Still, the first half does function as a impressive showcase for her formal chops, as well as for Bloom’s gorgeously empathetic performance. Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibMar 19, 2015
Marquardt never buries her symbolic subtext very deep, what with a woman who freezes her eggs and a man who ensures that his patients feel nothing. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenMar 19, 2015
She’s Lost Control sustains a mood of deepening alienation, but the attitude of the movie is too detached for it to be emotionally gripping, and its ending is botched. Read full review
