	Media	Author	Review
		Geoff Berkshire Variety	"Exceedingly stylish and ultimately quite silly, 'The Signal' is a sci-fi head trip better appreciated for the journey than the destination. The less audiences know going in, the more intrigued they’ll be by the story’s not entirely predictable twists and turns. (...) A film more interested in surface flash than in narrative coherence or character depth"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Beautifully executed, not-quite-satisfying sci-fi head-scratcher"
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"Its young director (...) has a considerable flair for surprise and visual gusto, and he even, on a shoestring, delivers sharp-looking special effects (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
		Nicolas Rapold The New York Times	"[A] diverting but disconnected film."
		Scott Bowles USA Today	"'Signal' thinks big, takes chances and has enough arresting scenes to stand apart from the science fiction films of late. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
