Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Feb 4
3.5/4
The premise offers ample opportunities for good scares, tension and symbolism, and there’s a steamy scene aboard a bus. Go to Full Review Marshall Shaffer Slant Magazine Jan 31
3/4
As star-crossed lovers resolve to battle their demons rather than surrender, this at times intensely creepy horror tale reveals itself to also be a potent and poignant teen romance. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar Variety Jan 27
With “Leviticus,” Chiarella wields horror in defense of queer love, avoiding easy sentimentalism, while also not surrendering to hopelessness, all while still satisfying the audience’s cravings for effective, bone-chilling uneasiness. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending 6h

Both Bird and Clausen do impressive work as the teens under fire. Mia Wasikowska excels as the single mother under the delusion that she’s doing what’s best of her child. And Jeremy Blewitt delivers a terrific turn as Hunter.. Go to Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online Apr 13
"...quaint affirmations like Heated Rivalry and Heartstoppers seem increasingly like liberal fantasies...instead of true representations of our shared experience. It’s refreshing, then, when a film like Leviticus, arrives to throw us off-balance." Go to Full Review Edward Douglas The Weekend Warrior (Substack) Apr 1
8/10
Chiarella does a fantastic job with the subject matter, making this a much darker and terrifying version of Joel Edgerton’s excellent Boy Erased. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
