Bill Stamets Chicago Sun-Times [Writer-Director Will] Slocombe may not carve up his kin for Cold Turkey" but he serves a wry repast. Rated: 3/4 Jan 17, 2014 Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture Cold Turkey is a simmering piece of holiday dystopia with a good, scorching boil-over. Nov 22, 2013 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post [A] tiresome cavalcade of bickering - which feels like it lasts even longer than your typical Thanksgiving dinner. Rated: 1/4 Nov 22, 2013 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... feels more contrived than authentic in its exploration of familiar domestic territory. Nov 22, 2013 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com The discomfort found in the feature is overwhelming at times, which is a lot more interesting than many of the dramatic developments Slocombe serves up. Rated: C Nov 21, 2013 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate The recipe for this wannabe black comedy is fractured, unfocused and all-too-familiar, engendering little emotional involvement. Rated: 4/10 Nov 19, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
