	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Visually arresting (...) [It] could desperately use some extra detailing at the level of character and psychology (...) All this elegant formal trickery soon turns more aggravating than intoxicating"	NEU
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Arty but empty (...) [It] often looks and sounds fabulous but is frequently devoid of any kind of clear meaning (...) Dunst is frequently a mesmerizing presence"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"'Woodshock' simply seems reluctant to commit itself to mere coherence, as if that simply were too unchic (...) The Mulleavys’ use of abrupt juxtaposition can at times tip over into banality"	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"Almost nothing ever happens (...) and this is very frustrating (...) So one starts looking for meaning in other aspects of the film. Are the varied flower patterns on the wallpaper trying to tell us something?"	NEG
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Depressingly dull and terminally inarticulate (...) It’s more lacking in substance than a yard of silk chiffon."	NEG
United States	Henry Stewart Slant	"'Woodshock' is vacuous in content, an insufferably gloomy emotional study (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jessica Kiang The Playlist	"The performances, too, are made featherweight by a script that has more mood than motivation (...) A slog among the logs"	NEG
