United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Jim Mickle continues to show that he’s among the most distinctive genre filmmakers on the indie scene with this cracked but flavorful thriller."	POS
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"The spirits of 1980s genre maestros like John Carpenter, Walter Hill and William Lustig hover strongly over Jim Mickle’s “Cold in July,” a superior piece of Texas pulp fiction"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"This relentless tale of small-town treachery spiralling into bloody vengeance is one of the year's best indie thrillers (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Get ready to squirm. Be sure to seek out this twisty and terrific sleeper in theaters or on VOD. It's a real find. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"'July' is solid throwback storytelling, a crime yarn that may not blow you away but can cut to the bone. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
