- 80The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenWith its sensory immersion in nature and its yearning characters, the gorgeously shot film is a memorable study of solitude and connection.
- 70Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlVillage VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThere’s an edge to the head-trip and the river journey, a sense not just of the characters’ freedom but also of their limited options and never-articulated desperation.
- 60The New York TimesTeo BugbeeThe New York TimesTeo BugbeeWith its gently twanging score, Moss is a film made in a minor key and its pleasures are minor, too. It passes like a lazy afternoon spent gently high. There’s not much this movie wants to accomplish, but it maintains a mood that sets the mind at ease.

- 40Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinGiven the script’s basic dialogue and narrow characterizations, it’s fortunate that there’s such an evocative locale to help us further imagine the lives of the film’s idiosyncratic folks.
