Its methods and themes... recall such acclaimed art-house titles as Bruno Dumont’s “Humanité,” Bong Joon Ho’s “Memories of Murder” and Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s “Once Upon a Time in Anatolia,” even if it stands in those pictures’ shadows.

Variety

A staggeringly controlled, slow-burn scorcher of a crime thriller.

Asian Movie Pulse

“A Dark, Dark Man” is an excellent movie, a title that shows the path genre filmmaking should take in order to evolve from its occasional dumbed-down approach, and a testament to Yerzhanov great command of the medium.

Rated: 7.5

They add up to paint a portrait of a nation and a time that is quite distinctive. The humor is very, very dry; it's more observational than anything, but soaked in absurdist doctrines and a sense that the world has gone mad.

Backseat Mafia

his pessimistic spin on the corruption and oppression in his country is once again explored with dark humour and brutal frankness.

Easy Reader (California)

"A Dark, Dark Man" is set up like a Becket play that has no beginning and no end; it's bleak from start to finish, surrealistic, almost existential in plot.
