Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) This is a chilling study of domestic abuse. Rated: 4/5 Aug 22, 2014 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Maybe creating a study in suffering is the point. Rated: 2/5 Aug 21, 2014 Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out Philip Grning builds his would-be magnum opus of domestic unease in fragments. A three-hour running-time, however, means an awful lot of fragments. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2014 Full Review D.W. Mault CineVue The Policeman's Wife's power lies in the cognitive explosions it sets within the subconscious of the viewer that forcefully interacts with the formally audacious claustrophobic rhythms. Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Jon Lyus HeyUGuys The Police Officer's Wife is a vital piece of cinema; courageous and gut-wrenching in spite of its errors. Rated: 4/5 Aug 29, 2014 Full Review Xan Brooks Observer (UK) Groening shows us the house; he never lets us inside. Rated: 2/5 Aug 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
