Tara Brady Irish Times Mar 4
3.5/5
Adapted by Sheena Lambert from her novel The Lake, Ruán Magan’s drama boasts pedigree, handsome visuals and solid, absorbing storytelling, even if its central murder mystery never quite quickens the pulse. Go to Full Review Brian Ó Tiomáin Film Ireland Magazine Mar 9
The ensemble cast, including those in supporting roles such as Oisín Mistéil and Pádraig Ó Loingsigh, deliver fine performances, bringing the diverse range of characters to life. Go to Full Review Hilary A White Irish Independent Mar 9
3.5/5
While guilty of slipping into melodrama in its final passages, Báite is serviceable genre fare with a committed cast ably led by O’Brien and the ever-dextrous Dunford. Go to Full Review Bren Murphy RTÉ (Ireland) Mar 7
4/5
It will not redefine Irish-language cinema or the murder-mystery genre, but Báite is an immersive rural tale with a couple of surprises up its sleeve and will keep you guessing until the end. Go to Full Review Stephen Porzio joe.ie Mar 6
Those seeking an Irish take on Twin Peaks or True Detective should probably look elsewhere. There are, though, enough pleasures and handsome craft to be found in Báite. Go to Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Nov 26
Baite is rather too neat and tidy in the way it ties up all the loose ends, leaving a film that is watchable without ever becoming truly gripping. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
