Press
"Hunting Daze was a sharp patriarchal takedown that had me sweating from start to finish. Incredible performances and the magical realism was a truly surprising element." -Liz Whittemore, Reel News Daily
"Blanc’s surreal visuals and occasional lapses into a dreamlike state make Hunting Daze an unusual and effective feature. The film delivers the kind of unexpected moments and frantic grasping for escape that one might expect in a genre thriller, though it could just as easily fit into any other narrative category." -J. Hurtado, Screen Anarchy
"Hunting Daze is the weird interrogation of gender and power dynamics that I didn’t know I needed. It’s uncomfortable, funny, disturbing, and an important step to a more nuanced understanding of the dangers women and minorities constantly face in the world." -Mary Beth McAndrews, Dread Central
