Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter The fact that the filmmakers persuade you to root for Monroe’s character, who’s operating in such an unsavory universe, makes this an achievement worth respecting. Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety A tiresome neo-noir that does no favors for Maika Monroe or Troy Kotsur. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Olga Artemyeva ScreenAnarchy Unfortunately, it’s the only time the movie really delivers something surprising. ... It’s the whole neo-noir construct the movie relies on, the one that historically doesn’t grant its heroes and heroines many opportunities. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb In Cold Light marks a bold and gritty English-language debut from French-Canadian director Maxime Giroux. This visually stunning thriller boasts impressive lead performances from Maika Monroe and Oscar winner Troy Kotsur. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture There is enough in “In Cold Light” to keep the attention of audiences, but it’s hard to fault those who will easily dismiss this as a redundant film with the occasional moments of panache. Rated: 6/10 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
