Adam Nayman

The Ringer

Excellently shot and acted, and gutsy enough to not cop out when it counts, Calibre is one of the year's best genre efforts.

Guardian

Feels simultaneously familiar and fresh, just like a good, solid bout of genre-tweaking should do.

Rated: 4/5

Neil Young

The Hollywood Reporter

Calibre [has] a pungent, intriguing layer of ambiguity that only sharpens the acute pain of the awful events so skillfully depicted.

Common Sense Media

Packed into the pressure cooker of a remote rural community that's fallen on hard times, Calibre boasts a title that's a neat play on words as well as a couple of breakout performances.

Howard Gorman

NME (New Musical Express)

The premise of Palmer's feature debut might be nothing new but it navigates its well-trodden territory amazingly well by deep diving into the relationships between old friends and new acquaintances in the quaint-yet-oppressive village setting.

A completely unexpected, twisted film that builds tension in terrifying fashion, leaving you mentally drained and conflicted by the end.

Slow... no unexpected twist. Don't watch it, spend 1h 30 of your life elsewhere

A good plot and good acting but very slow and unrealistic. Honestly it was average only because I’m comparing it to the nonsense that’s out today and I’ve seen MUCH worse. Spoiler warning: everything before the boy gets shot in the head is great (the first 10 mins) the rest of it drags along and the relationship between the 2 guys was really boring there was no character development they are who they are.

A very good thriller, one you can't help but be strongly emotionally involved. Lost a star on the plausibility and realism grounds... still definitely worth your time.

One of the best movies of this genre I've seen in a long time. This director is a master of building slow burn tension. Great from start to finish!
