Critics Consensus

Alone's minimalistic approach makes this heightened thriller a gripping and suspenseful experience.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

[Menchaca's] malicious control, the way he shifts from a damaged bird of a man to a hulking beast, helps put Alone away from the pack of middling modern slashers.

Rated: 3/5

Top-tier performances from Jules Willcox and Marc Menchaca provide 98 minutes of heart-pounding diversion.

FilmWeek (LAist)

Doles out just enough information and just enough plot twists at just the right pace, giving you just what you came for.

New Zealand Herald

A film as stripped down as this one really hinges on its actors, and they really struck gold.

Radio Times

Alone is a minor triumph of style over substance. While many of the plot beats feel familiar, some top-notch acting and superbly edgy direction from John Hyams help elevate the material, and the peach of an ending is well worth the wait.

Rated: 3/5

[Alone] is a taut and satisfying tale of survival that rewards viewers for bearing the non-stop tension and making it through to the other side.

Started off ok but the second half is very good enjoyed it quite a lot and the ending was nice.Though this relies on suspense quite a bit it also has some fun action.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Alone is a dull and predictable thriller whose characters show early promise, however it quickly reverts to formula before they get a chance to become developed. This would be a more suspenseful tale of cat and mouse if we knew or cared enough to be invested in either.

Alone (2020) Simple, but Very Tense Thriller (12,020 – 27 Oct 2025– by Claudio Carvalho) After the suicide of her husband, Jessica (Jules Willcox) rents a small moving trailer to be towed by her car and heads North in a four-day-road trip to cope his death and start a new life. While driving on the lonely road, a man (Marc Menchaca) almost provokes Jessica to crash into a truck. She stops at a motel, and on the next morning, the man apologizes with her saying that he was at the cellphone. Soon she notes that the man is on her pursue and she is alone in a lonely road. What will happen to Jessica? “Alone” (2020) is a simple, but very tense thriller. Indeed, one of the best thrillers recently released. The first point to say is the credible and good story. The landscapes are magnificent, and the performances of the lead cast are top-notch, giving credibility to the story. Anthony Heald has a small but important participation in the role of the hunter Robert. The plot holds the attention of the viewer until the last scene. My vote is eight.

Good movie overall, definitely worth your time. Suspenseful, well acted well directed sometimes a bit frustrating with the choices of the lead character, but, it went by quickly, and the film was entertaining.
