Athie... sensitively navigates the film's games of identity hide and seek; he provokes our full sympathy, which the film then subverts and complicates with a decent second-act twist.

"Black Box" has all the visual language of a cheap "Twilight Zone" knock-off.

There's almost a comatose nature to the film itself. I just wanted to electrify and wake it up.

Mamoudou Athie especially does a really good job with what turns out to be a really challenging role. He's what makes it interesting for me.

When you watch a debut like Black Box, you just know that the director is going to be around for a while.

While it never descends into the nightmare its premise threatens, Black Box is a solid thriller that benefits from strong performances and a screenplay packed with philosophical anguish.
