	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A massive feast for historical realists and political paranoids (...) This staggering, sometimes daunting work mixes documentary and dramatic approaches to go deep and wide in its attempt to establish what is probably unknowable"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Splendidly spooky (...) What emerges is a creepy trip indeed (...) Morris’s characters are like spectres (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The result is a documentary-fiction combination like nothing seen before (...) 'Wormwood' excels at echoing the hall of mirrors that define Eric’s mindset."	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"In terms of scale and narrative ingenuity, 'Wormwood' is as staggering as any Errol Morris film before it (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"'Wormwood' marks something new for the director, where his pursuit of the story 'is' the story (...) [It] brings plenty of intrigue to the table"	POS
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"In Morris’ hands, it’s as much a true-crime whodunit as a conspiracy theorist’s dream come true (...) Absorbing"	POS
