Critical reaction



Robert Koehler of 'Variety' stated, "An alice-like rabbit hole of suppressed memories...simmering with neurotic emotions and surreal dream states." The film's opening images "suggest that what follows may be induced by dreams. However, co-directors Tom Mattera and Dave Mazzoni are just as concerned with establishing Jack's reality in the present (in a bric-a-brac stuffed antique shop where he fixes clocks and other contraptions) and the past (where a dazzling single-shot scene dramatizes in capsule form the boy's sad life with his ill mom).

JimmyO Arrowinthehead.com said, "A visually stunning work of art".

Michael Rechtshaffen of 'The Hollywood Reporter' stated, "Stylistically channeling David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky, 'The 4th Dimension' is a densely etched portrait of a young man's descent into insanity", while also noting that the film "doesn't quite jell into a satisfyingly coherent whole."
