Jonathan Romney Sight & Sound Oct 4
The film is richly cast, with MacKay’s taut facial geometry marking the anxiety and the terrible shifts of realisation that Nick experiences. Go to Full Review Mark Hanson Slant Magazine Sep 17
3/4
The film plunges us into a world that feels simultaneously naturalistic and otherworldly. Go to Full Review Sam Bodrojan IndieWire Sep 8

“Rose of Nevada” feels like a folk tale. It is the kind of movie that I would half-expect to have an entirely different ending each time I see it. Go to Full Review Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation Nov 19

While Rose of Nevada is Jenkin’s most accessible work to date, he hasn’t compromised his signature style to appease audiences. Go to Full Review James Mottram Radio Times Nov 5
4/5
It's a head-scratcher that doesn't easily yield its secrets, but it reeks of atmosphere. And its political punch - even just the shot of a local Post Office replaced by a food bank three decades on - lands with real power. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
