	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] sucks you in like a vortex (...) A singular experience that counts as one of the most honestly disturbing and provocative nonfiction films in years."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is either a stunning piece of investigative reporting that builds to a revelatory climax or a wily trickster's dark critique of the audience's desperate need for answers"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The big 'twist' (or slow, escalating series of twists) has genuine real-world implications that stretch beyond the story at hand (...) 'Cold Case Hammarskjöld' makes it easy to digest a truly disturbing story"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A category-defying investigative documentary that’s also a playfully self-reflexive essay on political truth and the difficulty of establishing it (...) There’s plenty of strong meat offered"	POS
United States	Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"[The] precise depiction of the grueling investigative process, along with the staggering revelations found therein, makes 'Cold Case' essential viewing."	POS
