I can't stand it when a movie gives up its own rules.

Observer (UK)

Unfortunately, Never Let Go drops the ball, along with the bloodstained machete, just when it should be ramping up the tension.

Rated: 3/5

Observer

ever Let Go never manages to answer any of a number of recurring questions adequately, and the movie makes no more sense than one of those head-scratchers by M. Night Shyamalan, which it annoyingly resembles.

Rated: 1/4

[Alexandre Aja] knows how to dole out suspense and set up scares, but the theme perhaps could've had more to offer. [Full review in Spanish]

Cinemanía (Spain)

Never Let Go presents itself as an effective film for lovers of the more familiar horror genre, but it will be erased from your mind as quickly as you saw it. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/5

Never Let Go stems from a good concept but loses steam in its last part when it breaks its internal logic to allow for several loose ends to leave doors open for a sequel. [Full review in Spanish]

A little confusing and weird at the end I was confused if it was real or if the boy was a psychopath like his mother

Never Let Go should have LET GO of this storyline and create a stronger narrative and overall film concept. Halle Berry and the boys had amazing acting and brilliant chemistry, but not enough to understand or want to watch this film. Halle Berry continues to show her strengths in the Thriller genre and she will continue to be supported for her work.

I was kind of disappointed & underwhelmed with Never Let Go. Halle Berry delivered of course but something felt really off throughout the entire film.
