Martin Hoyle Financial Times Not quite sure whether to opt for romantic melodrama, mystery or in-depth psychological drama -- or final Jacobean bloodbath -- the film is gripping and always beautiful to look at. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Geoff Brown Times (UK) For some of the time, the interesting locations and Hillcoat's high style prevent the film teetering over into the ridiculous; but by the end serious themes have become awash with tosh. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Quentin Curtis Daily Telegraph (UK) The plot veers close to melodrama, but the restraint of the acting and the precision of Hillcoat's vision prevail. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Matthew Sweet Independent on Sunday If it were not so pretentious, Hillcoat's film might have made effective horror schlock. In its current form, it's probably best left to disappear, glugging, into the morass. Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
