Anne at 13,000 ft. is a low-budget character study that plays like a psychological horror, and a confident portrait of a woman in freefall.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 8, 2025

Made on a shoestring, and clearly indebted to the John Cassavetes school of close-up realism, it's only notionally a 'small' film: this is life writ large, heart-in-mouth riveting as character study, forcing us to jump with its heroine into freefall

| Nov 12, 2021

A smartly written, keenly observant, occasionally hilarious and ultimately moving indie drama

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2021

This needed characters that hold your interest...I found I was only invested in limited doses.

If it weren't for the stellar performance at its center, Kazik Radwanski's Anne at 13,000 Ft. would feel like little more than a formalist or structuralist exercise.

| Oct 14, 2021

The idiosyncrasies inherent to this performance are expertly handled by Campbell, who eschews sentimentality for interiorised reflection.

| Sep 30, 2021

A nursery worker finds inner peace through skydiving in writer/director Kazik Radwanski's invigorating character study.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 30, 2021

An intriguing and drily comic film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 27, 2021

Campbell's performance is noteworthy; she disappears into the role with conviction, further obscuring the whys and wherefores of Anne's myriad complexities.

| Sep 17, 2021

Spare, troubling, beautiful [film] is blessed by the figure of Deragh Campbell... as a volatile young woman suffering emotional turmoil who also appears impenetrable. Anne doesn't like dealing with people and it shows in her every vertiginous encounter.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 17, 2021

What's most appealing about Anne at 13,000 ft is that it's going for something unknowable. There's certainly something to be said for a film dealing with such tricky material that doesn't try to prescribe, but rather mend.

| Original Score: B | Sep 14, 2021

Radwanski's simple, short (74-minute) story follows Anne -- often in extreme, dizzying handheld close-up - as she tries to navigate her life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 13, 2021

It's a bold and truly original piece of independent filmmaking -- one which, come awards season, might give the big players a surprise or two.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 9, 2021

One of the better films about the challenges that come with unstable mental health that I've seen in quite some time.

| Sep 8, 2021

The film's stubborn devotion to subjectivity isn't limited to the lack of context, history, or even an assessment of Anne's mental state (Is she suffering from an undiagnosed illness, or is she simply an unrepentant vortex of selfishness?).

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2021

One of the more effective collaborations between director and star in recent memory, Radwanski and Campbell bring out the absolute best in each other. Their combined talents make Anne at 13,000 Ft a must-see.

| Sep 4, 2021

Surprisingly tense and intimate movie about mental health. Campbell gives a fantastic performance that carries the film.

| Sep 3, 2021

A smart and effective exploration of contemporary mental health issues that deserves to be seen.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 3, 2021

Together, [Kazik Radwanski and Deragh Campbell] make Anne at 13,000 Ft. into a work that may leave the audience gasping for air.

| Original Score: 8.3/10 | Sep 2, 2021

Its protagonist isn't interesting enough, isn't deeply felt or substantially drawn enough, to serve as the axis for a movie that hovers around mental illness and tries to substitute free-floating metaphors for a story.
