	Media	Author	Review
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"A film that is more cerebral than visceral (...) In the end, it is that soggy, oppressive atmosphere and the quality of the acting that standout in The Winter Lake rather than the rather predictable story."
		Steve Rose The Guardian	"There’s promise here but also perhaps some uncertainty: ultimately it falls between the stools of realist rural drama and full-on horror (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie	"For all its potential to be interesting, plays out conventionally (...) The result is a film that doesn’t feel new, different, or particularly exciting. It’s just quite dull (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
