UK FILM REVIEW
"Told with a glorious pace and rich cinematography, Convergence sweeps the audience into the bosom of its sorrowful storyline. Sequences of them travelling across the city are beautifully coordinated, with fluid shots and a dreamlike quality to them."
Chris Olson, December 2018
INDYRED
"The gorgeous cinematography lends a dream-like quality to everything, so Convergence is an absolute stunner to watch. Johnson balances the magical realism at play with the grounded drama the leads are going through with confidence, so neither overpowers the other."
IndyRed, December 2018
