Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 05/15/2022
4/5
Sentsov’s deft direction – in particular a bravura single-shot, early-life montage – makes this gory rise and fall story a horribly compelling watch. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/11/2022
3/5
This is strong, fluent, sometimes impassioned film-making, but just as its troubled gangster antihero yearns for meaning in his life beyond violence, so this film appears to be straining for the same thing. Go to Full Review Anna Smith Deadline Hollywood Daily 09/13/2021
While its titular character remains something of an enigma, Rhino the film is a convincing, visually inventive depiction of a specific, and very dangerous, world. Go to Full Review Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times 05/19/2024
3/5
A brief but seamless montage of young Rhino's volatile family life and troubled adolescence. Go to Full Review Marshall Shaffer Decider 04/17/2023
Rhino brings the genre goods and features one shot so breathtakingly good that you might have to stand up and clap. Those eight minutes might be the best you see for a good while. But it’s also worth watching the rest of the movie, too. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 03/27/2023

What Sentsov does really well here is to show us the humanity which lies within even the most monstrous of these men. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jim P 07/24/2024 You gotta be thick-skinned to stick with this movie. Great first five minutes, but then very disjointed. You can’t remember who’s who… But it gets better! An interesting look at Ukrainian 🇺🇦 gang life. See more Read all reviews
