Movie Reviews

The Telegraph - 10/10 by Robbie CollinMikkelsen, who is not given to sympathetic roles, has never been better. This is cinema that sinks its claws into your back.
USA Today - 10/10 by Claudia PuigAn outstanding lead performance by Mads Mikkelsen (who won best actor for the role at Cannes in 2012) anchors this hauntingly layered and nuanced drama of a man falsely accused of a terrible deed.
NPR - 9/10 by Bob MondelloThe director makes clear that everyone means well — the headmistress, protective of her students; the parents, trying to shield children from things they shouldn't know about just yet; the investigators asking questions carefully, trying to see their way through ambiguous answers.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Jessica KiangFor anyone with even a halfway developed sense of justice The Hunt may prove stressful, frustrating, even enraging, but it’s also an unbelievably effective watch, that, if nothing else signals an undeniable return to form for Vinterberg, and yet another blistering performance from Mikkelsen. See it, if only for the debates it will cause afterward.
Wall Street Journal - 9/10 by Joe MorgensternThis is filmmaking of a high order, even though the production's scale is modest and the climax is not without its facile contrivances.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by David RooneyPropelled by Mads Mikkelsen’s shattering performance as the blameless man whose life threatens to be destroyed, the film is superbly acted by a cast that never strikes a false note or softens the impact with consolatory sentiment.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Mary HoulihanVinterberg has created a modern horror story about a man’s descent into a Kafkaesque nightmare.
New York Post - 9/10 by Lou LumenickThomas Vinterberg (“The Celebration”) directs with restraint that makes the story all the more affecting.
McClatchy-Tribune News Service - 9/10 by Roger MooreIt’s a pretty conventional “Lifetime Original Movie” sort of story. But co-writer/director Thomas Vinterberg (“Dear Wendy”) makes it work by building a sense of frustrating unease into it all.
Observer - 8/10 by Rex ReedIt’s to the star’s immense credit that his spellbinding appeal provides a tension that the script’s funereal pace often lacks.
