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

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

HeyUGuys

The Police Officer's Wife is a vital piece of cinema; courageous and gut-wrenching in spite of its errors.
