Surface has a certain book-club-thriller breathlessless; its jaunty indulgence can be intoxicating in doses.

Hollywood Reporter

Surface has a plot and general outline, but none of the details have been filled in with distinction.

Wall Street Journal

The magnetic Gugu Mbatha-Raw is the main attraction of Surface...
