[7] Jennie Kermode wrote in her review for Rotten Tomatoes and 'Eye For Film': "Though it falls short of its aspirations as a character-driven thriller, Deserted is certainly effective as a cautionary tale, and it shows that the increasingly busy Barton is worth keeping an eye on.
"[8] David Duprey wrote in his review in 'That Moment In': "Avis challenges us by stripping away action and creating something more character-driven and while not every relationship and encounter feels always authentic, there is a lot here that will give enthusiasts for the genre much to think about.
