7 Prisoners Ratings & Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
There isn't much more to this lean and satisfying movie than that, but Moratto complicates the central dilemma with the skill of a master dramatist.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
There must be a better way of fictionalizing a very difficult and timely subject.
Washington Post
Alan Zilberman
Although the film depicts the cyclical nature of crime and poverty, director and co-writer Alexandre Moratto has little interest in making a didactic message movie.
RogerEbert.com
Roxana Hadadi
A fraught thriller that wonders at the fragility of the human soul.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Moratto's follow-up to his gem "Socrates" is gripping, well-acted and feels disturbingly like a documentary.
The Playlist
Monica Castillo
With "7 Prisoners," Moratto proves himself as a director of many talents.
New York Times
Isabelia Herrera
Rather than being a simple examination of a social problem, the film excels at excavating the deep-rooted, sprawling violence that affects everyone living under hierarchies of power.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
A very lean and intense drama.
TheWrap
Carlos Aguilar
With 7 Prisoners, the young director further demonstrates he is a worthy heir of this storytelling niche.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
While "7 Prisoners" doesn't pack many surprises, it is remarkably well drawn, featuring gripping performances and a vividly squalid setting.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Through a pointed script and propulsive storytelling, Moratto smartly makes the stakes of living within such a perverse system clear.
Variety
Guy Lodge
[An] efficiently gripping, just-thoughtful-enough genre piece...
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
It's as engaging as it is depressingly, brutally educational.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
While often hard to watch, 7 Prisoners is an important film that dissects its characters and the bleak world they find themselves embroiled in.
Pajiba
Kayleigh Donaldson
There's an efficiency to 7 Prisoners that makes it, if not an easy watch, then certainly an effective one.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
Formidable performances and a heart-wrenching story drive this disturbing drama from Brazil.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The realistic horror story is universally understood.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
The film is a deeply troubling and magnificently structured work...
Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation
Austin Burke
There is a realism here that makes this film as intense as any other on the platform. It is a tragic yet well-executed story that will open eyes everywhere.
High on Films
Shikhar Verma
7 Prisoners is an honest drama about human trafficking and the cyclic nature of its psychological traumas.
