	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Confidently assembled and acted with impressive precision, this striking debut feature finally doesn’t fully convince psychologically but is nonetheless a more than solid calling card for Legrand."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Legrand’s achievement (...) is that he’s managed to cut to the marrow of the situation while remaining keenly sensitive to how such things play out in the real world."	POS
United States	Phil de Semlyen Time Out	"[A] striking drama (...) Legrand coaxes a heartbreaking turn from Gloria (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"The mix is jarring, as intended, and this wrenching, heart-stopping film illustrates domestic violence and obsession in a way that makes the fear real."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The performances are frighteningly good (...) It has the shock and swipe of real life (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"'Custody' remains a singular debut for a director who looks as if he’s capable of much more (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
