Leave your thoughts about The Tribe.
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThe Tribe is a brilliant formal achievement that marks Ukrainian writer-director Miroslav Slaboshpitsky as a filmmaker to watch. |
| The Blue LensesAlexandra Heller-NicholasLittle can prepare you for The Tribe in a number of senses, but it is unhesitatingly a film that should be considered essential for anyone with a passion for intelligent, challenging cinema. |
| The Arts DeskTom BirchenoughWhether [Slaboshpytskiy] can achieve anything so innovative after The Tribe may be an open question, but on the basis of this debut his ability to handle powerful drama looks extremely assured, even when it's excruciating to watch. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansFor those who can take it, "The Tribe" is a movie of undeniable emotional power, unlike anything you've seen before. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorThe lack-of-language barrier is the least of its problems. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerVisually, it's striking. Narratively, it's one long nightmare of confrontation and misery. |
| Arizona RepublicBarbara VanDenburghThe Tribe is that rare breed of film so masterful in execution it requires watching once, yet so devastating you may never be able to stomach seeing it again. |
| Film Journal InternationalRex RobertsIn the end, [director Myroslav] Slaboshpytskiy pushes his story beyond plausibility, or it may be that he was striving for allegory all along...it's unclear. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasThe Tribe was made for an audience waiting for an authentically beautiful and powerful piece of cinematic art. |
| CraveOnlineFred TopelThe piece de resistance is a taboo subject that unfolds in an elaborate single take. It was so harrowing I would have applauded if it would not have been completely inappropriate for the subject matter to do so. |
