Some Reviews:
RogerEbert.com – Brian Tallerico
It’s smart, terrifying, and the best indie genre film I saw at SXSW this year.
FandomWIre – M.N. Miller – 8 / 10
Redux Redux is visceral, savage, and soulful. Working on multiple levels, the McManus siblings craft the year's most unexpected arm-rest-gripping thriller. Go see this film!
AV Club – Matt Schimkowitz – B+
Redux Redux‘s logic doesn’t require much debate because it’s so tangible.
Variety – Stephen Saito
In dipping their toes into the multiverse, the McManus Brothers largely manage to get the best of two worlds, delivering a strong genre entry with the bones of a tender indie about trauma.
Slant Magazine – Steven Nguyen Scaife – 2.5 / 4
Easy as it may be to imagine a more artful, restrained, and introspective version of Redux Redux, the one we got is satisfying enough that you may want to take it out for another spin.
Aisle Seat – Mike McGranaghan
The film grabs you by the throat from the first second and doesn’t let go.
Bloody Disgusting – Meagan Navarro – 4 / 5
Slickly directed and cleverly told, Redux Redux makes for a dread-soaked and unpredictable surprise of an indie sci-fi thriller.
Slashfilm – BJ Colangelo
In an era when studios are inflating already-obscene budgets in the hopes of building CGI multiverses […] "Redux Redux" is a phenomenal reminder that money will never be a match for a great story brought to life with incredible actors.
Daily Dead – Matt Donato – 4 / 5
Redux Redux is slick, sobering, and dreadfully tense in spades but also desperately relatable.
Dread Central – Mary Beth McAndrews – 4.5 / 5
Redux Redux treads some familiar ground, but does so in a special kind of way that shatters your heart while bending your mind.

I was utterly sold on the premise of this when I read it last year and finally got to watch it a couple of weeks ago.
Not really sure what I was expecting but I thought it was very good. The annoying kid was the only downside though.
Letsss gooooo I been waiting for this movie for a year and a bit now. I hope it’s showing close to me
