	Author	Review
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A witty crime caper with Coen brothers flair (...) The film is smartly assembled, making the most of a limited indie budget and building a compelling world to boot"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] is creepy enough to hook you and real enough to believe (...) Cole and Krudy are experts at low-keying the atmosphere"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"Margo Martindale, June Squibb and Annette O’Toole get juicy roles and know what to do with them (...) A genuinely fresh take on a time-honored genre"	POS
United States	Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter	"Deliciously clever (...) This atmospheric, expertly crafted little New England noir has droll dialogue, a female empowerment theme and a sly use of crime elements"	POS
United Kingdom	Stephen Whitty Screendaily	"It should appeal strongly to younger audiences interested in risky filmmaking (...) 'Blow the Man Down' is also aided by Todd Banhazl’s cinematography"	POS
United States	Ally Johnson The Playlist	"Cole and Krudy craft a lot of subtle details into their crisp cinematography and resourceful screenplay"	POS
Canada	Sandy Schaefer Screen Rant	"[It] rises above being a Coen Brothers imitation to deliver a gripping and tightly-woven yarn."	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"A sturdy, sometimes exceptional feature debut for Cole and Krudy. We should look forward to what they do next."	POS
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It’s an original story, which is rare, that is different (...) Along with Martindale’s performance, it makes this worth your 90 minutes (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
