	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The answers to [its] questions turn out to be not all that interesting, and the picture takes too long in answering them"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"The film is much more intriguing in its dread-inducing opening half (...) [In the second] the film is never quite so sharp, or irresistibly wicked."	NEU
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"Slightly too long, perhaps, the film nevertheless succeeds as an entertainingly nightmarish experience."	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"Moll veers the story into abstruse terrain where the audience comes to question what’s real and what’s imagined—a meaningless ploy that further muddles a dubious moral view of the world (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Matthew Leyland BBC	"Between Rampling and the rodents (...) there's enough quality to stop anyone from throwing themselves off a cliff (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Enigmatic and deliberately paced, it largely sustains a sense of intrigue without becoming especially engaging and has less of the sly wit and exuberance that made 'Harry' such a delight"	NEU
