Distribution and reception
Begos showed Bliss at 2019's Fantastic Fest in Austin, alongside another current film of his, VFW.[2] It was also shown at New Orleans's Overlook Film Festival, where A.V. Club reviewer Katie Rife said that it "represents a stylistic leap forward for its director" and compared it to the work of Lucio Fulci, Gaspar Noé, and Abel Ferrara.[3]
