Leave your thoughts about Siberia.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganDirector Matthew Ross does the near-impossible in Siberia: He turns a Keanu Reeves vehicle about sex, diamonds and the Russian mob into a dreary, endless slog. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... more tedious than thrilling, despite an understated bilingual performance by Reeves that's better than the material. |
| The Film StageChristopher SchobertThe reason to see Siberia is, quite simply, the presence of Keanu Reeves. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekMurky and drab...straining for a nourish sense of foreboding, the film only manages to be dankly tedious. |
| Spectrum CulturePat PaduaA stylish crime drama that only occasionally catches fire, Siberia may be the weakest entry in Keanu Reeves' resurgence as a kind of deadpan action hero - but that just makes it a near miss. |
| Jaredmobarak.comJared MobarakWhat appeared a stripped-down, tense thriller reveals itself to be a psychological character study. It's a commendable choice that tipped me onto the side of enjoyment. |
| Film InquiryAmanda MazzilloSiberia has its moments, especially in the performances of its leads Ana Ularu and Keanu Reeves, but the film is ultimately a confounding mess of genres and tones. |
| The PlaylistJoe BlessingThere’s nothing particularly special about Siberia, but with a winning Keanu Reeves performance, it maintains enough moment-to-moment suspense that it just might be enough to satisfy moviegoers yearning for a throwback genre film. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSiberia is effectively well-paced, offers instances of tension, and doesn’t cheat at the end. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonSlow but intelligent, moody, and mature, this thriller isn't exactly thrilling, yet it's hypnotic in the way it zooms in on little messy, unexpected human behaviors. |
