Jordan Hoffman
[With] performances better suited to a high school play
Jeannette Catsoulis
When almost everyone on screen is nursing a pathology, interest in their fates is far from guaranteed.
Inkoo Kang
Whatever "Proxy" lacks in narrative cohesion and psychological realism, it makes up for in its compelling fever-dream quality and its probing questions about the darker side of parenting.
A.A. Dowd
Proxy's greatest attribute is its deliberate dismantling of the audience's assumptions. Writer-director Zack Parker has made a genre whatsit whose central mystery lies in the stealth motivations of its characters.
Michael Nordine
Like a lot of conspiracy thrillers, the questions it raises prove more compelling than the answers it slowly teases out.
Keith Uhlich
There's enough talent here to suggest that Parker could one day give us a truly memorable white-knuckler, but Proxy is too tenderfooted to stand on its own.

Skirting horror and black-comedy terrain without quite surrendering to either, the pic proves rather bracing even if it doesn't hold up to much plot-logic scrutiny.
User reviews

Brutal This is a type of film that is difficult to recommend to anyone in particular. Controversial subject matter from open to close. However, I did find myself extremely interested in the story that was being told to me. I certainly did't see the plot twists coming. This is almost two movies in one. This may be difficult for some to watch, but i found it to be satisfactory with solid acting, writing, and production value.
