	Author	Review
	Aurore Engelen Cineuropa	"Very strong film in terms of form (...) 'Hellhole' enriches Bas Devos’ filmography, offering a new component to his often wordless cinematic style."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] contains surprising moments of raw feeling (...) While 'Hellhole' is a bleak snapshot of a city searching its soul at a dark time, it also suggests that people will find a way to move forward"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"A slow, poetic study of lost souls adrift in a European metropolis (...) Quietly absorbing"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"An uncannily beautiful but forbiddingly remote exercise in sculptural, sepulchral filmmaking (...) The masterful evocation of dissociation inevitably makes for a dissociative experience."	NEU
