REVIEWS:
“My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To is an exercise in successful visual restraint. But eventually, it’s a devotional story of familial love which crosses over to the inevitable reality that the heart is deceitful above all things.” www.ioncinema.com
“An intriguing exploration of the ties that bind, My Heart Can’t Beat Unless You Tell It To slowly and steadily weaves its intricate web, before exploding into goopy emotionally-charged violence, and affirming itself as a great debut feature” www.thehollywoodnews.com
“Each densely packed and claustrophobic frame feels like voyeurism as we witness intimate, private family movements sometimes at a distance and from around the corner. Although masterfully directed and performed, the film somehow feels a bit unresolved, especially since the family lives in a populated suburb rather than a rural area which would make their desperate actions far easier to conceal.” www.thefilmstage.com
