	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An eerily plausible and unsettlingly mesmeric realisation of the inner world of Ted Kaczynski (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Stone and star Sharlto Copley commendably push against the predictable narrative tropes endemic to biopics (...) But (...) the film is ultimately both galvanised and limited by how unknowable its protagonist turns out to be. "
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Mesmerizing (...) Played by Sharlto Copley in a febrile performance so wired it's almost uncomfortable to watch, Ted Kaczynski is revealed here in his own words"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"What we gain from the experience is uncertain, with most viewers likely to leave the film understanding little more of the Unabomber than they did two hours before. Still, 'Ted K' is impressive and oppressive in equal measure."
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Copley is the haunting centerpiece of a half-baked character study more invested in disturbing questions than answers."
		John Serba Decider	"'Ted K' is by no means an easy or enjoyable watch. But [it's] oddly compelling, hypnotic and provocative (...) It’s definitely not for everyone, though."
