- Joshua Brunsting @ The CriterionCast

- Excerpt: while Marsh succeeds getting us inside his characters’ heads, he’s sacrificed somewhat in getting our pulses pounding.
- Rich Cline @ Shadows on the Wall
- Excerpt: Slow and steady, this will appeal to filmgoers who like to get involved in a complex, intelligent story that refuses to follow the rules of more bombastic thrillers
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Even the marvelous performances by Clive Owen and Andrea Riseborough are not enough to ratchet up the drama to the level of the totally gripping, which is a damn shame and something of a puzzler…

- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Shadow Dancer is a taut, intelligent, sophisticated thriller. In a way, James Marsh’s film is more notable for what it doesn’t say, than what it does.
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: Andrea Riseborough gives a knockout performance.
