	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The film is lean, direct, unrelenting (...) For Friedkin, the film is a return to form after some disappointments (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"The commitment of the actors runs in inverse ratio to the connection audiences will feel to 'Bug'."	NEU
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"'Bug' remains disconcerting, real, and raw. It poignantly suggests that some lost souls would rather be crazy and doomed than alone."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The sheer freakiness and psychotic commitment of the actors keep you watching (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The escalating hysteria and grisly set pieces of 'Bug' may strain credulity, but Ms. Judd has never been more believable"	NEU
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"This is not Friedkin’s best or most consistent vision, but it’s certainly his freakiest (...) Whatever has gotten into Friedkin, let’s hope it stays in there (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
