	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A solidly-competent eek-from-the-deep thriller given some extra ballast by the appearance of Dougray Scott and Connie Nielsen"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"The film is competently acted and produced, but Hardiman’s script simply isn’t very interesting"	NEU
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"An unsettling if rather underwhelming feature debut (...) film that’s thin on characterization but thick on atmosphere, gore and a few solid scares"	NEU
United States	Jason Gorber SlashFilm	"'Sea Fever' trades on the fear, fascination and exploitation of the depths, resulting in a film that’s both harrowing and intelligent"	POS
United States	Perri Nemiroff Collider	"A nightmare you can’t take your eyes off of and can’t stop thinking about after it wraps up"	POS
Canada	Hannah Hoolihan Screen Rant	"Once it overcomes its initial storytelling lulls, Sea Fever embarks on a thrilling creature-feature adventure with a message that's all-too-timely."	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A low-budget Irish B-movie that provides modest entertainment before a damp ending (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"You wonder how high 'Sea Fever' could have risen, if only Hardiman had truly embraced the bare bones of the genre, indulging in some well-wrought group dynamics and even a pair of sneaky jump-scares to boot. Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
	Camillo de Marco Cineuropa	"The sci-fi eco-thriller by Dublin-born filmmaker Neasa Hardiman boasts a solid cast and excellent direction, but is somewhat lacking in dramatic tension"	NEU
