Critics' reviews

"Unpleasantly effective (...) 'Alone' is easily the best of several recent hunted-woman-in-the-wilderness films"

Dennis Harvey: Variety
"Despite the talents of Willcox and Manchaca and riveting moments of breathless tension, Alone’s biggest hindrance is that it strips away too much of itself in its bid for chilling simplicity (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"

Meagan Navarro: Bloody Disgusting
"Familiar-feeling but harrowing nonetheless (...) A highly effective genre exercise."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"This minimalist survival thriller unfolds with such elegant simplicity and single-minded momentum that its irritations are easily excused."

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"Any genre goodwill generated by Hyams’ assured direction and pacing is lost when the film introduces another character, Robert (...) Robert is stupid (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Odie Henderson: rogerebert.com
"There’s something deeply appealing about an already stripped-down cat-and-mouse scenario that becomes dirtier and more elemental as it goes along"

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky: AV Club
"98 minutes of heart-pounding diversion (...) [Hyams] allows the story to take its time without lagging"

Kevin Crust: Los Angeles Times
"A tight survival thriller that is told almost like a cautionary fairytale (...) The story just works and the characters are interesting (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Karina Adelgaard: Heaven of Horror
