Leave your thoughts about A Prayer Before Dawn.
| EmpireAndrew LowryFor all the flying fists and the hero’s nightmarish predicament, the notions of redemption examined here are plenty deep. Add that to the bone-crunchingly effective technique and flawless lead performance, and you have yourself something very rare: a testosterone-driven narrative that’s about nurturing, rather than destruction. And one that achieves a bleeding-knuckled profundity. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinSo there you have it. A Prayer Before Dawn: Fine entertainment. Fine teaching tool. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonA Prayer Before Dawn feels scarily authentic, and may be too much for some. But there are moments of grace amid the setting’s despair. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMr. Sauvaire’s approach may not be for everyone, but his skill and audacity are invigorating — and, strangely, liberating. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt’s a haunting and masterful effort, but be warned: This is tough stuff. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Robert W. Monk...a resolutely tough watch. But... with the hope of redemption and rebirth. |
| The National (Scotland)Ross MillerAn uncompromisingly brutal cinematic experience, coarse and unwavering in its depictions of what it takes to survive a hard life. |
| Time OutDan JolinIf you wanted to know how it feels to be the only foreign inmate in a Bangkok prison, this is about as close as you could get. |
| Fopp.comRosalynn Try-HaneA Prayer Before Dawn will leave you pulsating long after you've left the cinema. |
| One Room With A ViewStephanie WattsOnce the film settles down and focuses on Billy's goal to box his way through his stay in the prison, it becomes, if not any less forgiving, more meditative, using the sparse score and rare quiet moments to great effect. |
