Reception

Michael Rechtshaffen from the Los Angeles Times gave the film a good review writing: "Although it has some commitment issues in terms of wanting to be both a probing domestic drama and a flat-out thriller, Aaron Harvey’s `The Neighbor` finds a sturdy constant in its thoughtfully delineated performances and handsome production values."[1] J.R. Southall gave the film 6 out of 10 and said: "The Neighbour... is just about absorbing enough to hold your attention until its powerful but bleak finale. But only just."[2] Niall Browne from gave "The Neighbour" three stars out of five and stated: "A slow-burning domestic thriller, Aaron Harvey's The Neighbour is a tense little movie with a captivating central performance from William Fichtner."[3]
