What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  It’s one of the best films of the year, to be sure, but more unexpectedly, it’s also a defiant response to the cynicism and despair that has gripped the public consciousness for longer than most of us would want to admit. | 20 |  |
| RSG Leon van Nierop Dis die swierigste pret wat jy kan hê. Gun jouself ‘n geskenk en hou jou lyf snuffelaar. Ek waarborg jy sal nie die skuldige voor die speurder uitwys nie. | 14 | |
