	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A hugely accomplished meditation on life, guilt and responsibility (...) A resonant film made for adults constructed out of breathtaking landscapes"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"A heartfelt, attractive arthouse item that ought to travel as widely as its much-translated source novel (…) Seasonal change is hardly the freshest metaphor for mortality, but 'Out Stealing Horses' makes you feel it with a shiver."	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Strikingly photographed, sensitively acted but torpid in its pacing, this is filmmaking which will require a degree of patience from its audience."	NEU
	Jan Lumholdt Cineuropa	"Moland’s script deserves warm praise but also demands that you don’t blink (...) Moland’s film could hardly be more beautiful."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s sensual cinema of the purest kind, though these poetic moments are held together by a rigid grip that doesn’t allow them to flow together."	NEU
United States	Pat Brown Slant	"As the symbols start to multiply (...) and the melodrama becomes conventional and bloated, Moland and co-screenwriter Per Petterson’s subordination of natural objects to human meanings becomes increasingly one-dimensional"	NEG
United States	Alex Billington First Showing	"[Moland] is a true master of cinematic visuals (...) There are some good ideas in this, but alas it doesn't amount to much despite intriguing layered storytelling. Which is a let down."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"The high-toned beauty of the cinematography (...) blunts emotional impact. But the overall integrity of the effort is impressive."	NEU
