"On a technical level, this is a breathtaking masterpiece." 8/10
UK Film Review

"A Helical is a film of two extremes, there will be those who see it as a pretentious art-house vanity project and others who will be overwhelmed and consumed by the imagery and think it is one of the best short films in years, I fall into the latter." 10/10
