"Harpocrates is a psychological thriller that is blistering with a deep underscoring of sadness. Whether it is an analogy depicting the inner turmoil of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, or another calamity, it is certain to provoke a swell of unsettling emotional thought."
8.5/10 Movie Burner Entertainment
"With almost no dialogue, Harpocretes creates an arresting portrait of inner struggle.
The cinematography in this short is nothing less than stunning."

"Harpocrates captures the essence of isolation, sadness and depression. When it all gets a bit too much. While George Bailey and Hal Darling’s excellent direction includes beautiful sound design and thought provoking shots, it’s the simplicity that makes this short film so thought provoking."
