Critics Consensus

Spoor stylishly taps into a deep well of anger to deliver an unusual yet largely effective revenge thriller with environmental and feminist overtones.

Holland's cinematic mastery ... charges every frame of her misty, mud-ridden and chilly-to-the-touch film with the grandeur and ominous aliveness of the nature that surrounds Duszejko's world.

Rated: 2.5/4

Spoor is a crime-thriller that sparks with violence and toxic masculinity, yet has a radiant heart thumping at its core.

Kino Mania

Spoor is all but a green pamphlet on the big screen. Enriched with some majestic close-ups of wild animals caught in their natural habitat and framed à la Parajanov, [The film] is a sturdy environmental thriller film drenched in a very Czech black humour

Rated: 4/5

Cinemalogue

Emphasizing atmosphere over plot, this muddled genre hybrid never musters the consistent suspense to match its haunting imagery.

Film Threat

Holland's films contain worlds within worlds, and, like the rest of them, Spoor is a marvel to unravel.

Rated: 8/10

Whatever you do, please go hug a tree and save a bug's life before you watch this travesty of a movie.

I really liked this movie. The protagonist, Agnieszka Mandat-Grabka, was wonderful. She really made the audience feel her anguish, anger and then acceptance similar to the stages of grief. Her love and respect for animals in contrast to the attitude of the ruthless hunters and others was so nicely woven into this story.

A pretty good murder mystery based in an isolated Polish village close to the Czech border. [

Undeniably different with its own typical style and tone, the movie proves to be as visually striking as it can be too much of a slow burn. Navigating between a strange gory thriller and the portrait of an edge of the world community, the film is more a social drama than anything else but does it in its own matter and yet proves to be the work of an author, so kuddos for that...but still can feel hard to sit through.

"Spoor" kept me engaged from start to finish. Pro tip: watch the movie in its original language with subtitles. The cast - especially Agnieszka Mandat - are phenomenal when heard with their own voices.

A strange film with some odd characters that keeps you waiting for a resolution which it never quite delivers.
