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. Jul 31, 2018 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Feels simultaneously familiar and fresh, just like a good, solid bout of genre-tweaking should do. Rated: 4/5 Jun 29, 2018 Full Review 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. Jun 29, 2018 Full Review Alistair Lawrence 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. Jul 7, 2025 Full Review 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. Jun 10, 2021 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It A completely unexpected, twisted film that builds tension in terrifying fashion, leaving you mentally drained and conflicted by the end.

Steve B 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/05/25 Full Review The Floydian D 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! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Nigel W What a surprise this film was. I did not know what to expect as I scurried around the streamers looking for a film to view and boy was I surprised when I stumbled upon Calibre. This was a carefully wrapped little thriller that takes you down different paths and makes one question their moral code. What to do when a tragic accident takes the life of an innocent? Now are you guilty or simply guilt-stricken? This was a fascinating tale of how easily we can make mistakes and how they can compound quickly with [poor decision-making. I thought of the visuals in the film were remarkable and the tension throughout is palpable. Highly impressed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review ThickNjustrite T If you are able to leave your Brain out of it all, it's watchable with very good acting. loads of plot holes, "oh, of course that would happen!"-ridiculous coincidences, & senselessness, it's worth 1 viewing & that's it. That said, there are far worse movies than this. 100% Critics reviews just goes to show ya how their take on films in general is more often than not unreliable. 2 1/2 - 3 stars. Oh, & just think about this; when the 2 guys are driving alone together in their Jeep following the search party, If the dumb Hicks had simply hidden a recording device in the Jeep, as soon as they all stopped they would have had all the info. they needed from the 2 guys conversation on the way to the, uh, far from the site of the deed search area, "MILES OF FOREST," & yet it took them less than 5 minutes to find the spot as well! DUHHH to the filmmakers! As I said, leave your Brain on "OFF". Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Jacob H. Great acting in a very intense thriller with several shocking moments. Seemed very realistic for having such a dark, moral-testing storyline. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review daryus D. movie was fire. a lot of plot twist though out the movie! kinda confusing on the ending tho Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
