Donald Clarke Irish Times At its best, Brimstone is like being caught up in one of God's more entertaining divine rages. Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Although the four-chapter structure is neatly handled and the savage backdrop strikingly photographed, there's something a little unsavoury about this picture. Rated: 2/5 Oct 1, 2017 Full Review Jonathan Pile Empire Magazine Brutal in its depictions of violence, Brimstone is tough to watch at times, but never less than gripping, even as the clock creeps up to the 150-minute mark. Rated: 4/5 Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film Koolhoven’s Brimstone is hard to watch and to stomach...[but it] is [still] well-executed. Rated: 4/5 Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Jason Best What's On TV There's more than a whiff of sulphur about Brimstone. Rated: 4/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Leigh Monson Substream Magazine If you'll allow it, Brimstone will grow on you and draw you in to its engrossing plot. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jaclyn R Bleak disturbing and violent! 100% horror from start to finish. Hard to look at but even harder to look away from. Maybe even better than Bone tomahawk! A must-see for horror fans! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Andrea C Western cupo e piuttosto cruento, con una discreta tensione e soprattutto un'ottima interpretazione di Dakota Fanning. La divisione in quattro atti, con linea temporale distorta è sinceramente un po' cervellotica e poco scorrevole; soprattutto nel momento del cambio si fatica a stare al passo e i primi minuti di ogni parte risultano piuttosto difficoltosi da digerire. Sicuramente la sceneggiatura è piuttosto originale sia nei personaggi che nella trama e trova un buon equilibrio seppure non si è mai veramente appassionati dalla storia, piuttosto ci si limita a guardarla con un discreto interesse per i suoi sviluppi. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review gsmbg Absolutely evil show Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Andreas E Ein Film der meiner Meinung nach die Gewalt gegen Frauen und ihre Stellung in der Gesellschaft der damaligen Zeit widerspiegelt. Nur durch diese Art der Darstellung können wir als Zuschauer den Schmerz und ständigen Demütigungen begreifen die am Ende zum Suizid führen. Ein mitreißender und bewegender Thriller. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Filthy not family oriented at all. Don’t recommend James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas June 21, 2023. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review Edward C Caught this on TV. Full of relentless, distasteful, unredeeming horror. The writing rivals anything the Marquis de Sade ever came up with. Oh, and how exactly does the villain survive his throat being cut, only to come back in the end and commit more atrocities, then as he's being immolated, calmly say the worst part about hell isn't the flames, but being denied love. Get real! AND get human. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
