2/5
It plods forward at a somewhat steady - and laboured - pace leading to a climax that doesn't quite deliver. Go to Full Review

2/5
Some of the topics are very important, but writer-director Mark Schwab gives the film a very preachy tone as things slowly ramp up into into thriller territory. Go to Full Review
Bobby LePire Film Threat 07/19/2019
8/10
Crisis Hotline is an absorbing thriller, whose story structure ensures maximum tension and engagement from the audience. Go to Full Review
Rich Cross Starburst 07/05/2019
5/10
The fact that it's an uncomfortable and unsettling watch is a combination of the distressing subject matter and the flat execution of a script in which empathy, compassion and human dignity are pushed to the fringes. Go to Full Review
Andrew Stover Film Inquiry 07/03/2019
Crisis Hotline succeeds in meaning as much as it does in suspense. This is a thriller with a mightily subtle pace and a frighteningly hypnotic atmosphere, laced with brimming sexuality and perfidy. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 06/17/2019
3/4
The film sometimes even has a Lynchian feel, with moments that are just so unreal as to feel nightmarish. Go to Full Review

09/25/2020 It's a good movie and sad. I cried cause it touched me in so many reasons. I know how Danny felt cause I had a very similar situation minus being put on the internet and it touched me cause I knew how I felt after finding out. It's really good movie and sad. Don't understand how Kyle didn't do anything about it, Danny loved him so much. It's sad but a great movie. See more Read all reviews
