Three drives marked with occult symbols copulate behind a chair which protects them from marauding young children. The secreted file will be transferred to HDCAM and delivered to Cinequest next week. This will be the exhibition "print," a de facto final cut. So, is the film done? It had better be.

"This second feature by Alejandro Adams confirms him as an arresting talent. [Viewers] may be fascinated to the point of repeat viewings to sort out its myriad characters and half-buried clues."
-- Dennis Harvey, Variety


"Micro in budget, macro in ambition, accomplishment, and scope, Adams's slyly withholding film prompts multiple viewings--and deserves them."
-- Jim Ridley, Village Voice


"Wildly ambitious...an overwhelming and surprisingly fresh-feeling sense of dystopian dread."
-- Karina Longworth, Spout


"[CANARY is] terrific...very creepy and uncanny. It's quite an achievement."
-- Phillip Lopate


"Mysterious, elliptical, Bresson-like. [CANARY] is to biotech what PRIMER was to time-travel."
-- Richard von Busack, Metro
