	Author	Review
United States	Harry Windsor The Hollywood Reporter	"A middling survival pic (...) [It] seems destined to land in the Amazonian bog into which films that satisfy neither grindhouse nor art house are sucked"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"A handful of visually and emotionally memorable moments prove far more gripping than the overall finished feature (...) Radcliffe helps give weight to a protagonist broadly written like an archetype"	NEU
United Kingdom	Luke Buckmaster The Guardian	"'Jungle' is perhaps best appreciated as a paean to the will to survive – although that message, like much of the film, feels contrived (...) I wanted more and more for the film to be, simply, more entertaining (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG

United Kingdom	James Dyer Empire	"This never comes close to seizing us by the throat (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Alex McLevy AV Club	"[It] is packed with so many jaw-dropping moments of brutal physicality (...) Unfortunately, the movie too often can’t resist leaning into the melodrama of the situation."	NEU
