A Most Violent Year Ratings & Reviews
Stairwaytothestars
3d ago
I love Jessica Chastain and she is brilliant as usual!
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Instead of directing a movie that screams "HEY, IT'S THE '80S," he made one that looks, sounds, and feels like a refugee from that era, and lets the audience do the rest.
Reverse Shot
Adam Nayman
A Most Violent Year's final scenes are its worst: they reveal that the plot's sure-footed plodding hasn't led anywhere unexpected, narratively or thematically.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A Most Violent Year resonates as the rare film to not simply take its superficial cues from The Godfather, but to truly understand its underlying ideas -- and, more impressive still, to re-work them into something thrillingly unique.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"A Most Violent Year" is a far more interesting film than its title implies. And a film you've never seen before.
AskMen.com
Radheyan Simonpillai
These characters coolly roam through every precise, purposeful scene like the metaphors they are, seemingly motivated by artistic intent as opposed to baser human desires. Even Michael Corleone had a temper; a libido; a pulse.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Gritty, suspenseful and almost poetic in its depiction of an unforgiving town, A Most Violent Year is just shy of being great.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A lot of movies spin their wheels fast and create the illusion that important things are happening. A Most Violent Year, one of the best movies of 2014, does the opposite.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Chandor, who previously wrote and directed "Margin Call" and "All Is Lost," is already a master storyteller, and "A Most Violent Year" unfolds with beautifully controlled tension.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
It's kind of a thriller, but any genre expectations will be thwarted by writer/director J.C. Chandor's almost-perverse pleasure in stopping shy of the boiling point. A Most Violent Year is all about the simmer.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Chandor deliberately keeps things on simmer for much of the runtime: the point here is to avoid the violence that bends the time out of joint.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[Isaac's] coiled, charismatic performance strongly evokes Al Pacino as the young Michael Corleone, and Chandor's intelligent screenplay turns on a similar dilemma of how to maintain one's personal ethics in a cutthroat environment.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Isaac and Chastain have a fearlessness with each other that requires complete trust as actors. Every scene they are in together crackles.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
"A Most Violent Year" sets the stage for a showdown between principles and base instincts that never satisfyingly arrives.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Year" is a fascinating movie but, despite its title, it's fairly flat - the pace rarely modulates. A work to admire, sometimes very much, but not an easy one to love.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"A Most Violent Year" is an engrossing, often beautiful film, and a breakout opportunity for Isaac, whose similarly self-contained performance as a sadly self-aware folk singer in "Inside Llewyn Davis" was unfortunately overlooked last year.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Chandor has yet to learn the fine points of screw-turning when a story's momentum calls for it. But he knows a great deal about writing effective, striving, eagle-eyed characters caught in tricky situations.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"A Most Violent Year," for all its other virtues, is a wise movie about leadership.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Recognize J.C. Chandor as one of the most exciting writers and directors working today - after all of three films.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The performances are memorable. Isaac uses understatement with the appropriate emotional outburst and Chastain is the film's firecracker.
