United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A strong cast can't generate much drama in a slow-building tale (...) [It] never becomes the crime-and-punishment nail-biter it might've been."	NEU
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"It’s not as effective as the other recent “false priest” film Corpus Christi, but it definitely has its moments nonetheless. Whigham is a huge reason for this because he gives himself over to the character"	POS
Canada	Hannah Hoolihan Screen Rant	"A story that boasts so much potential but never truly reaches for the greatest possible height that it very well could."	NEU
Canada	Diksha Sundriyal TheCinemaholic	"[It] delivers a stirring experience (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"What ultimately makes 'The Quarry' so frustrating is that there are some good things in it that could have been developed into a more compelling film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
