Reception
Tay Yek Keak of Today rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "This is a too-even, too-predictable flick crying out for a better ‘gotcha!’ ending than the one it thinks we'd be surprised by. It's still something that's pretty okay to see, but nope, there's no mind-blowing shock here."[1]
Marcus Goh of Yahoo! Life gave the film a score of 3/5 and wrote that while it "tries its best to make you think about the subject matter, and it does have some interesting bits", it "ends up being bogged down by a horrific second Act, which completely deflates any tension that might have been generated in Act One."[2]
James Hadfield of The Japan Times rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film is "as cerebral as a conversation with a Pepper robot, but if you’re looking for an uncomplicated diversion, you could do far worse."[3]
Film critic Atsuko Kawaguchi rated the film 2 stars out of 5.[4]
