United States	Leslie Felperin Variety	"An exceptional one-man show for Tom Hardy, this ingeniously executed study in cinematic minimalism has depth, beauty and poise."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A theater piece and yet it’s bracingly cinematic, powered by Tom Hardy’s controlled performance, which packs an emotional charge intensified by its restraint."	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"Knight has real chops as a filmmaker and (...) Tom Hardy [is] one of the most compelling screen presences around at the moment."	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Having stripped away all but the bare necessities, having reduced the components to a car and a man - they make a classic error of overcompensation. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"It's one of the most nail-biting thrillers of the year. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Locke' is a powerhouse of claustrophobic suspense and fierce emotion, mostly because Tom Hardy (...) is a blazing wonder as Locke. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
