Rose of Nevada

"A haunting tale, something delivered out of time by Jenkin's unique style."

— Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews

"A work of oblique horror, a ghost story that’s something of an apparition itself."

— Josh Larsen, LarsenOnFilm

"It’s got a unique look that’s not really anything like any film I’ve seen in recent memory."

— Stephen Silver, The SS Ben Hecht

"An eerie, sci-fi-adjacent time-travel movie of subtle wonder, infused with a sense of otherworldly mystery."

— Kurt Loder, Creators Syndicate

"If Jenkin’s prior work established him as someone to keep an eye on, Rose of Nevada should make him a longtime mainstay on everyone’s radar."

— Erik Reeds, Spectrum Culture

"Relentlessly bleak yet consistently entrancing, this ambiguous drama of family and memories builds a haunting emotional potency beneath its austere surface."

— Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue

"Rose of Nevada never feels less than authentic to its place, to the idea of regional filmmaking, and to a clear-eyed distress with the state of blue-collar life in the U.K."

— Michael Atkinson, LA Weekly/Village Voice

"One of the filmmaker’s greatest strengths is that he never explicitly voices what he’s saying, leaving audiences to ponder what they would do if their realities were cast adrift and lost at sea. Yes, it’s heady stuff."

— Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

"Jenkin has suggested his latest is a commentary on sacrifice and community, but any concrete theory of 'Rose of Nevada' risks allowing his enigmatic puzzle to lose its shattering spell of mystery and foreboding."

— Tim Grierson, Los Angeles Times

"Using scuzzy, tactile cinematography and creaky audio, Jenkin is interested in breaking and reconstructing familiar filmic grammar — here, a utensil simply being handed over manages to create tension just waiting to burst."

— Brandon Yu, New York Times

"The eerie and ultimately affecting "Rose of Nevada" is not just a mystery wrapped up inside an enigma. It’s also definitive proof that multi-talented filmmaker Mark Jenkin has arrived intent on choking the life out of convention."

— Al Alexander, Movies Thru the Spectrum

"The haunted, slippery feeling of his movies is very effective when applied to a supernatural mystery, and that sense of full understanding being just out of reach becomes something pulling you further in, rather than pushing you out."

— Alex Harrison, Screen Rant
