	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Nev Pierce Empire	"Visceral and inquisitive, this well researched movie offers a punchy insight to prison life. Unfortunately, it is a familiar and tepid storyline. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Kim Chapiron, proves an excellent choreographer of brutality...But without a strong political point (...), 'Dog Pound' feels hollow and hopeless."	NEU
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Handles its brief with pace and precision. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Although it has a visceral intensity, this teen-centered prison movie doesn't avoid the familiar tropes of its genre."	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The movie never loses its miserable outlook; Chapiron practically revels in the ever-present dreariness."	POS
