Critics' reviews

"[It] has a 'Twilight Zone' mood that’s initially quite chilling (...) [But] the script isn’t up to the task (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Nick Schager: Slant
"Surprisingly gripping."

Anita Gates: The New York Times
"If Natali (...) were as comfortable with dialogue and dramatizing characters as he is with images, this first feature of his might have worked better (...) As it turned out, however, 'Cube' falls into the dreaded trap of allegory"

Bob Graham: SFGATE
"An inventive (if inconsistent) bit of sci-fi fun (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

David Nusair: Reel Film
"Too many low-budget sci-fi films (...) try for epic scope and fail; this one concentrates on making the best of what it's got and does it well (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Kim Newman: Empire
