	Media	Author	Review
		Samantha Bergeson IndieWire	"Stale serial killer thriller that leaves a poor taste"
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is an investigative thriller that’s expertly handled if a bit over-familiar"
		Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"[It] is full of underwritten cops who seem to have no real idea what they’re doing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle	"There are some interesting ideas floating around (...) Yet the recycled structure and beats hinder 'To Catch a Killer’s' point of view (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"Its clumsy plot wastes a riveting performance by Mendelsohn in a way that’s almost criminal (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It’s a very character-driven story, and with a runtime of almost two hours, it’s not too long at all (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ethan Vestby The Film Stage	"The film is a losing battle between loftier aspirations and genre requirements"
		Patrice Witherspoon Screen Rant	"[It] isn’t as strong as its predecessors, but it’s backed by great performances and sequences even when it leans into implausibility (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Marya E. Gates rogerebert.com	"[It] blames all of the gruesome violence it depicts on the perpetrator’s mental health and offers only a surface-level exploration of the system that failed him (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Aurora Amidon Paste Magazine	"[It] fails to catch our attention"
