Slant Magazine
Its performatively extreme imagery thinly masks a rather banal view of male subjectivity and inner conflict.

Hollywood Reporter
Although it eventually settles into familiar genre tropes, for much of its running time Daniel Isn't Real proves a genuinely provocative shocker.

The New York Times
What starts as a mediocre psychological thriller finishes as a surprisingly toothsome and creative horror film, complete with creature features and journeys into the abyss.
Full review
Los Angeles Times
Pitched somewhere between "Fight Club" and a Clive Barker creature feature, "Daniel Isn't Real" is a wild ride worth taking to be in the company of its promising young stars.
