"Director Chloe Okuno deftly elevates WATCHER from a Hitchcockian homage to one of this century's most arresting tales of female anxiety." (--- Lena Wilson, New York Times)
"Composed and stylized with uncompromisingly elegant aesthetics WATCHER feels like an artifact of a different era ... A stunning gaslighting whodunit." (--- Tomris Laffly, Harper's Bazaar)
"Director Chloe Okuno and lead actress Maika Monroe bring a fresh femme perspective to this heart-stopping 70s-style psychological thriller dripping with Hitchcockian voyeurism and rampant paranoia." (--- New Zealand International Film Festival 2022)
"Chloe Okuno's first feature film surprises us on several levels – starting, for example, with the veiled references to the Hitchcock of "Rear Window". In WATCHER, we follow Julia, a newly married young American woman who moves to Bucharest with her husband. The premise is very simple: the difficulties of acculturation – to the language, to the habits, to the atmosphere of the city – and everything seems different and strange. But not only that. There are also other factors – not so common – that prevent her from integrating." (--- Jéssica Pestana, IndieLisboa International Independent Film Festival 2023)
