it's a great looking art house horror film. It is a film where the look sets the mood and the place and it makes you feel claustrophobic; Ultimately, "My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To" is a small gem of horror film that is worth a look
Cuartas is a fantastic director. Each scene oozes emotionality and atmosphere; the directing is sublime, the editing and sound design are both masterful, and the cinematography is ravishing; the cast, especially Patrick Fugit, is astonishingly great
"My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To" is a well-crafted, heartbreaking tale of the lengths a family unit will go to protect the ones they love. And the relatability of the story itself is what will hammer its way into your chest
