| HeyUGuysJon LyusA stylish, beautiful ode to all that is glorious about Italian melodrama. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneTim CampbellIt's not the tale, but the telling of it, that distinguishes this Sicilian drama. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonA sparse and languid Italian thriller that carries a debt to Melville. |
| The SkinnyAlan BettVisually confident with a notably bare sound design of introspective silences, ticking clocks, a solitary barking dog, it's a film sure of its movement, strolling like a lion. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonThis story of humanity manifesting itself in unexpected circumstances just doesn’t have enough surprises on offer to make good on that early promise. A noteworthy debut nonetheless. |
| Little White LiesVadim RizovA handful of superb action sequences stand-out in this otherwise formulaic tale of an angular Sicilian mafioso. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyIt feels like a very challenging exercise carried off with much style but little real flair (the two things are not quite the same). |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeYou might argue that an exercise in style over substance is just what we need for a study of the fashion industry. |
| Irish IndependentPaul WhitingtonSalvo is nicely put together, and told for the most part without recourse to words. But under the Sicilian swagger, there's not much substance or character to cling to. |
| Movie TalkJason BestSet during a Palermo heatwave, the film opens with a truly scorching action scene... The drama that subsequently unfolds, however, substitutes slow-burning tension for shock. |
