	Author	Review
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"A dramatic thriller tackling serious themes (...) the movie can't always get out of its own way, as reliably effective as Rapace is."	NEU
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"[It] doesn’t do right by the Holocaust history it invokes — or much else"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This 1950s-set film totally rips off 'Death and the Maiden', but worse, it does nothing with the stolen goods"	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The film is ultimately too tidy to embrace anything truly startling or unexpected, either stylistically or narratively (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"The morally reprehensible conclusion—which in retrospect seems the movie’s entire reason for being—renders the entire enterprise a write-off (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It] is neither fully convincing nor particularly original, its narrative running a course that feels somewhat predictable from the outset. But it’s still strong enough to be effective"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A movie that never solves the mystery of its own identity (...) A schlocky B-movie that hangs its bigger ideas around hacky scenes of amateur torture"	NEG
United States	Mary Sollosi Entertainment Weekly	"A contrived but well-acted thriller (...) [Its] answers are predictable, but at least somewhat satisfying"	NEU
