Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) The series is bound to hit ever harder, and it would take superhuman stamina to consider bingeing it: instead it’ll be one to space out between deep breaths. Rated: 4/5 Feb 19, 2025 Full Review David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter There’s a lingering soulfulness here that feels new to Kurzel’s work, distilled in an intensely moving lead performance from Jacob Elordi. Feb 19, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Kurzel handles the material with confidence and storytelling verve and gets fervent, focused performances from Elordi, Hinds and Young. Rated: 4/5 Feb 18, 2025 Full Review Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub No easy watch, The Narrow Road to the Deep North nevertheless holds tight to the fading light, with Kurzel and Grant looping time through its glimmer. Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters Visceral and brutal, it is a fully corporal experience that transforms the soul, both individually and collectively Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Marshall Shaffer The Playlist "Elordi has the leading man chops to paper over some deficiencies, yet Kurzel’s show cannot quite muster the hero’s welcome for such a turn." Rated: B Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
