Olivia Popp Cineuropa The filmmaker’s topical critique of patriarchy, hierarchy and conformity ends up being rather one-dimensional. It’s hunt or be hunted, says Gyllenstierna (quite literally, in the dialogue as well)–but the motivations to hunt at all are left up in the air. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside This intimate and gorgeous study of unchecked and wild male ego could have supplied more food for thought, but what it does say — typically through imagery rather than words — is, nevertheless, compelling. Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Michael Gingold Rue Morgue Magazine Gyllenstierna’s emphasis is more on the threat of violence than the violence itself, and yet HUNTERS ON A WHITE FIELD has an emotional and visceral impact equal to many more explicit genre films. Jun 23, 2024 Full Review Alex Papaioannou InSession Film Hunters on a White Field captures the male ego in such a way that feels potent. Rated: B+ Jun 17, 2024 Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy Director Sarah Gyllenstierna navigates the film's journey from its comfortable setup into much darker, suspenseful terrain, building a provocative, foreboding atmosphere where anything can happen, but it probably won't be good for everyone. Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Debut feature writer/director Sarah Gyllenstierna has a sure hand with macho men and themes in adapting a story of three guys' hunting party's rituals for killing and butchering as a societal allegory about prey. Sounds and close-ups increase tension. Rated: 8/10 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
