[Super Dark Times] is an impressive piece of work that deserves to be seen. And if it takes the hype around something more mainstream to draw attention to its existence, well, stranger things have happened.

I wasn't as impressed with the film as some of my fellow audience members, but Kevin Phillips, transitioning from music videos to feature films and from cinematography to directing, has an undeniable eye.

An effective thriller, anchored by great performances and a strong visual language for a debut film.

The beauty of Super Dark Times can be found in its caring and sensitive vision for the characters’ world.
