The Survivalist Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Katie Rife
Fingleton's spare, striking debut feature takes a minimalist approach to the post-apocalyptic thriller.
Film Pulse
Adam Patterson
In what could be the feel-bad movie of the year, Fingleton presents a gritty future, where the world's oil supplies are depleted and the population has dwindled.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The Survivalist...is as terrific and as suspenseful a post-apocalyptic thriller as any I'll likely see this year.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
eerie and masterful ... as riveting as it is morally confounding.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Impressively lean and rigidly controlled, "The Survivalist" achieves, at times, the primitive allure of a silent movie.
Village Voice
Craig D. Lindsey
Both dire and oddly poetic.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A post-apocalyptic drama as stripped-down as its title suggests, The Survivalist envisions end times in which each encounter with a new human entails a hard calculus of risk versus advantage.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Anchored in strong performances from all three of the central actors and a filmmaker in great command of his skills, like his characters going back to basics to build a strong foundation for something that will endure.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Fingleton is largely successful with his tonal and visceral goals, only periodically allowing the ugliness of this story to reach beyond its grasp.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
John Petkovic
Who knows how it will end, if it will at all. But we do know this: The Survivalist rolls out a uniquely personal vision and makes for a stellar debut by Irish writer-director Stephen Fingleton.
Silver Screen Riot
Matt Oakes
Strip the zombies from The Walking Dead and you have something akin to Fingleton's world - a place of desperate foraging and deep-seated distrust.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
It's not a fun film, but it is a tensely thrilling one.
The Film Stage
Ed Frankl
Post-apocalyptic thrillers don't come much leaner or meaner than Northern Irish director Stephen Fingleton's gripping debut feature The Survivalist.
We Got This Covered
David James
Lean and mean, The Survivalist a realistically miserableapocalypse - and all the more terrifying for it.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This deliberately paced post-apocalyptic thriller rewards patience with a character-based approach that gradually builds suspense.
Collider
Haleigh Foutch
Fingleton makes a meal out of complex character drama, raking his audience over the coals with piano-wire tension that leaves you jittery long after the credits roll.
Pittsburgh City Paper
Al Hoff
The Survivalist is well done and well produced, but it's a grim tale.
InSession Film
JD Duran
While the narrative structure does fumble a bit and the characters needed to be fleshed out more, The Survivalist is a compelling watch that does have something unique to say given it's genre.
