The Snowtown Murders Ratings & Reviews
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Overlong and grim to the point where some scenes are virtually unwatchable...
AV Club
Noel Murray
What is it with first-time Australian filmmakers and ultraviolent true-crime movies about thuggish underclass families?
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film is a chilling study of an evil, dominant personality and his victims.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
This distressing infiltration of a family of young boys by a charismatic psychopath rewards with a stylistic talent that feels entirely new.
In Contention
Guy Lodge
Ingeniously passive-aggressive cinema that places great stock in its own thorniness without ever resorting to idle shock-broking.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
Whatever one ends up thinking about The Snowtown Murders, it's difficult to deny that it's a deeply impressive work.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
The Snowtown Murders builds into a multipronged horror effort in which the torture and murder on-screen are matched by the psychologically convincing disintegration of a previously sympathetic protagonist.
Bitch Media
Jyoti Roy
The film is a fascinating psychological study, both on the effects on the audience and the arc of the characters as we are see them (and ourselves) slowly consumed by this bleak, murderous, poverty stricken town in rural Australia.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Your appreciation of this Australian horror movie will depend on whether you think its artistry justifies its unrelenting ugliness.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
An impressive but exceptionally disturbing feature debut from Australian director Justin Kurzel that pushes the new wave of Aussie crime films up a notch.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
A dull thriller of ultra-bleak withholding.
Variety
Richard Kuipers
The result is a movie that can be admired in many respects from a distance but is progressively less emotionally engaging.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
It's incredibly well-made and memorable, although not for everyone.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
If, however, you want to know how violence, intimidation and prejudice can thrive unchecked for a very long time, The Snowtown Murders is here to show you in tragically credible terms.
ChaseWhale.com
Chase Whale
I did not know this film was based on a true story until the closing credits, which makes this story so much more terrifying. Director Justin Kurzel crafted a raw feel that will leave you slack-jawed.
Tiny Mix Tapes
Derek Smith
The pure terror of rural mundaneness and geographical remoteness turning savage and deadly is ultimately the most stirring and chilling notion presented by Snowtown.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
It has no particular observations about the mind of psychopaths that is worth the incredibly nasty feeling you get from sitting through its incredibly grim two hours.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
Dark, claustrophobic and depressing, but it's too destructive for its own good.
The Hollywood Reporter
Megan Lehmann
A well-made but hard-to-watch portrait of Australia's worst serial killer.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Is it the Aussie Gummo, or a true-crime drama that takes itself way too seriously? Can it be both simultaneously?
