Ready Steady Cut

A seamless blend of social commentary and action thriller in a setting where tradition conflicts with progress.

One Room With A View

Despite its overall disappointing execution, AV: The Hunt still remains to be an important film. It cleverly showcases the treatment of women in modern day society who are still treated like they exist merely as props for the men in their life.

Rated: 3/5

ScreenAnarchy

[A] chilling indictment of archaic Turkish patriarchal violence in the form of a blisteringly paced survival thriller.

Eye for Film

Av: The Hunt is beautifully shot... There's also a surreal quality to the ending, though here, sadly, the film doesn't hand together as well.

Rated: 4/5

Unbearably tense from the off, fiercely political, Av should be commended for tackling an ugly subject matter.

Rated: 4/5

It's a brave and affecting movie that, while it can't be seen as enjoyable, is certainly impressive and hits more than a few nerves.

Honestly, if they wanted to show the patriarchal dominance of a particular society, they could have gone for a documentary. I think the movie failed as an action thriller. The action itself was weak with several flaws, the execution poor, the difficulty of wilderness survival uninspiring and dull. Even the correct emotions were not captured. The movie was a slow boring stretch that never seemed to end. I have no idea how others rated this movie so high, probably cause they are looking at it less like an action flick and more like a movie on social cause.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
