FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/no-exit-spoiler-free-review
"No Exit is one of the biggest surprises of the year, shocking viewers with an extremely (in)tense narrative full of suspense, twists, and high levels of entertainment.
Damien Power takes the simple premise of his screenwriters and builds an immersive atmosphere through single-location filmmaking, where the camera work and the score are technical highlights in a visually fascinating work.
Havana Rose Liu contributes tremendously with a superb lead debut as the smart and courageous protagonist. Apart from some characterization details that become irrelevant or accidentally depicted in a strangely positive manner, it's hard to imagine the general public not enjoying such an unpredictable, constantly captivating story.
At the time of this review, it's one of the best films of the year."
