	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is not an escapist sci-fi vision of the "future"; it's a tactlessly horrible here and now (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"One of the most harrowing and plausible visions of apocalypse since George A. Romero's 1968 zombie shocker, 'Night of the Living Dead."'	POS
United States	Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"The story is convincing, as are the details, but too much is anecdotal (...) Still, 'The Time of the Wolf' is more than watchable"	NEU
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"Among the cinema's many visions of the apocalypse, few have resonated with the chilly precision of Michael Haneke's 'Time of the Wolf.'"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"One of the most depressing, if not agonizing, movies I've ever seen."	POS
United Kingdom	Dan Fainaru Screendaily	"Haneke shows again his mastery in the visual department but fails to match it with a suitable script, delivering a picture that is less disturbing, driven and focused than his best efforts."	NEU
