Critical reaction
Robert Koehler of Variety stated, "An alice-like rabbit hole of suppressed memories...simmering with neurotic emotions and surreal dream states." The film's opening images "suggest that what follows may be induced by dreams. However, co-directors Tom Mattera and Dave Mazzoni are just as concerned with establishing Jack's reality in the present (in a bric-a-brac stuffed antique shop where he fixes clocks and other contraptions) and the past (where a dazzling single-shot scene dramatizes in capsule form the boy's sad life with his ill mom).[2]
JimmyO Arrowinthehead.com said, "A visually stunning work of art".[3]
Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter stated, "Stylistically channeling David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky, The 4th Dimension is a densely etched portrait of a young man's descent into insanity", while also noting that the film "doesn't quite jell into a satisfyingly coherent whole."[4]
