	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"An impressive example of creativity within constraints, 'The Guilty' invited audiences to make an action movie in their heads while giving them little more than the tense face of a single character"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"This oppressive and atmospheric prison drama is superbly acted but lacks some of the compulsively slippery plotting and ingenious suspense that made [Möller]'s first picture such a knock out."
		Davide Abbatescianni Cineuropa	"Gustav Möller crafts an accomplished sophomore feature telling us some uncomfortable truths about the lives of prison guards and inmates"
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"It's a shame that the sloppiness of the script here —the sort of thing that could easily have been fixed in pre-production— lets down what could have been a very compelling, eminently remake-able conceit"
		Luke Hicks The Film Stage	"[It] captures the descent of the Danish prison system (...) It’s still a thoughtful style of filmmaking and, imperatively, one able to hone in on the chasm that separates those who dehumanize from those who don’t"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A grippingly claustrophobic prison thriller (...) [It] is a richer and more probing thing than Möller’s debut"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"Even if 'Sons' makes less logical sense than it should, it nevertheless remains a compelling character study"
