- 88Slant MagazineSlant MagazineThe ultimate drama of Domain becomes how long he can be a witness to her self-destruction.
- 80Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichWhen the action eventually switches to an Austrian rehab retreat, Dalle gets to make like the best of the Old Hollywood divas and waste away with devastating reserve - an icon quietly, crushingly crashing to earth.
- 80Village VoiceMelissa AndersonVillage VoiceMelissa AndersonDalle, with a mouth that could devour the world, unravels inexorably but with decadent dignity, and Chiha's singular film never relies on cliché in its examination of illness, disappointment, and abandonment.
- 80MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekIt's hard to say whether Patric Chiha's unabashedly out-there drama Domain is actually good or whether it simply nuzzles very cozily against the shoulder of so-bad-it's-good. After seeing the movie twice, I'm inclined to say Domain splits the difference.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco ChronicleWriter-director Patric Chiha directs the proceedings with incredible restraint, which works both for and against him. Yes, it allows the actors to shine with some subtle, quiet moments, and prevents things from going over the top, but somehow Aunt Nadine and restraint don't belong in the same sentence.
- 60New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWriter/director Patric Chiha brings a knowledgeable weariness to his feature debut, as his story heads toward an end that feels familiar in all the right ways.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenYou really can't hang a drama on a mathematical theory and expect it to serve as a shortcut for storytelling.
- 25New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithThe French affection (affectation?) for conversational film reaches absurd proportions in the talkathon Domain.
