 "Blank is a well-written, constructed, and acted film/Shelley is brilliant as Claire, but Heida Reed perhaps shines the brightest/A taut two-hand thriller/A well devised tale of the struggle to create"
The Hollywood News

Verdict: Blank is intelligent, a lot of fun, and, for those scribes who have the creative scars and neuroses that come with the professional territory, occasionally a little chilling as well.  8/10
