Hargie M

By the end, "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" left me shaken and breathless. The limited perspective keeps you guessing until the very last scene, and the ambiguity of the ending will stay with you long after the credits roll. It's not a movie for the faint of heart, but for those seeking a truly immersive and unsettling experience, it's a must-watch.

From beginning to end it will have you on the edge of your seat, it takes a lot to get me with the jump factor, there are definitely some of those! Would highly recommend!

A claustrophobic creep-fest, an innovative "creature," a believable, effective setting, and sympathetic, earnest performances from the leading duo. Well worth the watch for fans of slow-build horror.

Times (UK)

This chilling chamber piece from the Norwegian director Andr Ovredal is an exercise in restrained horror.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

The second half is merely morbid runaround, punctuating its soundtrack crashes with self-justifying footnotes on historical misogyny.

Rated: 2/5

Cinegarage

In this horror story much closer in spirit to Stephen King's novels than to cheap horror films, Ørvedal makes us feel and live with his revenge nightmare that which others (particularly women) have lived and felt. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

The movies early, slow-burning potential is squandered by its adherence to popular genre tropes, all of which seem underwhelming after the first two-thirds.

Rated: 2/4

It redefines gooseflesh. Hell your scalp will crawl right off of you and into the seat beside you and then demand some of your popcorn, if you let it.
