White Bear Ratings & Reviews
CinemaBlend
Gina Carbone
It's sick. But Black Mirror expertly shifts sympathies back and forth, revealing Victoria to have been complicit in the torture and murder of a child, filming her boyfriend in the act.
Film School Rejects
Aliya Jones
The presence of these hypnotizing devices can easily deceive us into thinking that "White Bear" is yet another cautionary tale against being too attached to technology, but this episode's intentions are far more unnerving.
SFX Magazine
Richard Edwards
A compelling and thought-provoking drama that keeps your sympathies shifting constantly as you try to work out what the hell's going on.
Slashfilm
Jacob Hall
"White Bear" isn't a grim and gross tale of post-apocalyptic horror - it's a scathing condemnation of punishment as entertainment, a blistering attack on how we make a game out of suffering and take pleasure in the pain of others.
Esquire Magazine
Corey Atad
It's a story about our social appetite for punishment, a recurring theme in the worlds of Black Mirror, that leaves viewers wrestling with their own thirst for so-called justice and the competing value of empathy.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Charles Bramesco
There may be some larger point about voyeurism or exploitation or how annoyingly fast phone batteries drain, but it's lost beneath a simplistic twist that pulls a switcheroo and fails to do much else.
Hollywood Reporter
Jackie Strause
A commentary on many aspects of society - from the media to violence and human empathy - the ending shows just what Brooker is capable of along this Black Mirror ride, and is a story that tends to stick with those who make it through.
IGN Movies
David Griffin
Like most Black Mirror episodes, White Bear explores issues of morality, fairness, and suffering in a way that is unnerving at times. Most of these stories are science fiction, but White Bear feels like it could happen now.
Grantland
Emily Yoshida
The episode is an interesting, if far-fetched, musing on social revenge.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Mark Monahan
This was an exciting and efficient piece of narrative rug-pulling that mocked, above all, our insatiable, voyeuristic, neo-Medieval thirst for supposedly "real-life" pain and humiliation repackaged as entertainment.
Entertainment Weekly
James Hibberd
With a twist you won't see coming. "White Bear" could have easily been a classic episode of The Twilight Zone.
Collider
Aubrey Page
What "White Bear" lacks in pointed societal commentary, it no doubt makes up for in its ability to truly disturb.
What Culture
Connor Macgregor
White Bear is fast paced and tantalisingly thrilling to watch. You are thrown into this bizzare, soulless like world which the human population has become zombie like observers, using mobile phones to record the character of Victoria's every move.
Digital Spy
Morgan Jeffery
White Bear is not Brooker's most sophisticated work, but packs a powerful punch regardless.
Den of Geek
Ryan Lambie
It's more than mere attention-seeking: there's a certain sense of morality underlying this episode, as there so often is in Black Mirror.
AV Club
David Sims
The twist is a smart one, brilliantly concealed and smartly revealed.
El Pais (Spain)
Eneko Ruiz Jimenez
An unsettling chapter of the second season of the series, with a frenetic pace, but below the average. [Full Review in Spanish]
