phancy.com rating:

phancy.com notes: Mixed bag, but I enjoyed it. Great beginning, and a good enough ending. Drags a little in the middle, as the story repeats itself too many times. Enjoyable when it's firing on all cylinders, and bolstered by an excellent lead, but doesn't quite hit the emotional mark they're aiming for.

Outside Reviews:

1.5 out of 4 stars - rogerebert.com

Duffield's film lacks a grounded center and bewilderment at the proposed fear. The themes of social alienation, unresolved trauma, and the question of redemption are mere whispers in a chaotic maelstrom of fatiguing sequences. "No One Will Save You" is a slow burn you plead with to pick up the pace. Dever is the film's backbone, giving an entirely physical performance. Without words to supplement the feeling, she carries it all in her body and the minute shifts in her expressions. Unfortunately, while we can read and feel everything she's giving, she is secondary to egregious, repetitive alien sequences undermining the film's desperate emotions.
