| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIf we could delete one sequence from Seraphim Falls, it would be an exceptional modern Western. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussIt's hard to find a movie that's as brutal as Seraphim Falls that's also consistently boring, but somehow that's what's happened here. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersIt's only the fourth week of a new year and already a movie has made me sit up and take notice. |
