Box Office Review
Sara Schieron reviews Canary for Box Office Magazine:
Adams' camerawork, which constantly skates over the surface of information, treats each crucial detail as casually as something only slightly relevant to the story: in this world, literally nothing is sacred. If you were to project the emotional lethargy and hummingbird heartbeat attention span of Slacker onto J.J. Abrams TV drama Lost you'd be getting close to Canary. The genius of Adams' directorial practice is the way it forces the audience to participate and assume a form of complicity in this deranged alternate universe.
Sara rates Canary four out of five stars, and I believe this is the first time the word "genius" has been used to describe Alejandro and/or his films in an industry publication.
