	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"An endlessly surprising, very dark, human comedy, with a plot that cannot be foreseen but only relished (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"A haunting and hypnotic movie, just the thing to get lost in (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[Farrell, Gleeson and Fiennes] work well together (...) 'In Bruges' is itself a goof, both diverting and forgettable"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Theatre audiences have long relished McDonagh's brilliant combinations of the bizarre, macabre and tragicomic and it is very exhilarating to see him transfer this talent to the screen (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"[It] is moderately fair as a nutty character study, but overly far-fetched once the action kicks in"	NEU
United Kingdom	Damon Wise Empire	"It may not be new, but it's a wonderfully fresh take on a familiar genre: fucked-up, far-out and very, very funny (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Tom Charity CNN	"The film is more Tarantinoesque than anything Quentin Tarantino himself has made in years. The trouble is, that's not so much a compliment now. It's more of a mixed blessing."	NEU
United States	Carina Chocano Los Angeles Times	"A dark comedy with a melancholy streak and punchy sense of humor (...) [It] manages to toy with cliche while avoiding it entirely"	POS
