"While these sequences aren't as nails-on-chalkboard, they hardly build a case for us to care about his fate."
Time Out"A bold, brave first effort behind the camera for Viggo Mortensen..."
Empire Magazine"A vituperative central turn from Henriksen is worth the price of admission."
Little White Lies"A very substantial achievement."
The Guardian"A sad, surprising delicacy."
Daily Telegraph"The journey is brutal, the destination turns out to be a dead-end - but credit goes to Mortensen for still making the effort seem worthwhile."
Independent"It's a small film, with a low budget and a modest cast, but huge in scope, and unafraid to ask big questions about what it is to be human."
