Stephanie Zacharek TIME Magazine It’s a movie with a seemingly endless number of moving parts, cut with diamond precision. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times ...A House of Dynamite remains deadly serious as it exposes a global unpreparedness for nuclear Armageddon. It may not detonate fresh structural ideas, but it delivers a carefully calibrated explosion of geopolitical anxiety. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Barber BBC.com ...[A House of Dynamite] is more riveting than most thrillers, and more terrifying than most horror films. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2025 Full Review Brian Viner Daily Mail (UK) Bigelow’s film superbly evokes the furnace of decision-making that such an agonising dilemma might ignite. Rated: 5/5 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews "Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite is a fearless, gripping thriller that reflects the instability of today’s political climate." Rated: 4/5 Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Manu Yáñez Fotogramas For its fierce critique of the mix of naiveté and warmongering prevalent in the West these days,..."A House of Dynamite" must be considered a courageous exercise in denunciation.
