- Ultrasound is a beautiful sci-fi indie that shows us why the horrors of the future may not be so far away, and how our identity is memory.
- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreUltrasound challenges us to go with our instincts and first impressions no matter what we learn about characters later on, only to upend those impressions on occasion. It puzzles and annoys and maybe even infuriates.
- 63Paste MagazineLex BriscusoPaste MagazineLex BriscusoSchroeder’s eye is right on the money for Ultrasound, spotlighting the best bits of a lackluster script with heightened visual play. If only the other, crucial parts of the film lived up to the vision in his head.
- 60Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThe film’s overall tone is a bit dry, and the narrative lacks tension, aside from its central mystery. But the performances are strong, and the points the filmmakers are making about the slipperiness of memory do resonate.
- 60Screen RantDebopriyaa DuttaScreen RantDebopriyaa DuttaUnbearably tense at times, Ultrasound executes its high-brow sci-fi concept with ease, while some unanswered threads can make it a frustrating watch.
- 50Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeSlant MagazineSteven ScaifeUltrasound never quite figures out how to keep going once its mysteries have been unraveled.
- 50The New York TimesManohla DargisThe New York TimesManohla DargisThere are some promising glints here and there, flashes of mordant wit and obvious ambition. But like too many movies, Ultrasound is better at setting up its story than delivering on its promise, as if the filmmakers were still pitching ideas in the elevator.
