Reviews for this film from our members:
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: Grimly one-note and miserabilist.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A chilling Danish drama about how an accusation of child sexual abuse can tear a community apart and shatter even the trust of long-standing friends.
- Stephen Carty @ Flix Capacitor
- Samuel Castro @ Ochoymedio.info [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Una gran actuación de Mads Mikkelsen que nos hace preguntarnos hasta dónde puede llegar un rumor
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Mikkelsen’s an actor of restraint, and …Vinterberg’s modern day witch hunt tale gives the actor a whole range of restraint to work with in a film whose title begins literally, turns figurative, then, in a chilling coda, suggests a merging of the two.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: That the film acknowledges its out-of-the-ordinary setup … is a sign that Vinterberg and Lindholm are not working in terms of one side against another…
- John Gilpatrick @ JohnLikesMovies.com
- Excerpt: Pain and regret paint every gorgeous frame of Thomas Vinterberg’s latest—one of the best films of 2013
- Dan Jardine @ Cinemania
- Excerpt: Often painful but always riveting
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: The mass hysteria surrounding child sexual abuse has never seen as compelling or as cautionary an examination as the tragic mess this riveting Danish film delves into.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: A sympathetic, riveting, and provocative morality drama and cautionary tale, with Mads Mikkelsen breaking out of typecasting in an outstanding, carefully modulated performance as a wrongfully accused man.
- Piers Marchant @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
- Simon Miraudo @ Quickflix
- Frank Ochieng @ SFcrowsnest
- Excerpt: ‘The Hunt’ is a harrowing account of misguided speculation, mistrust and the misfortune of shattered lives at the expense of kiddie-induced disillusionment. Vinterberg explores the trigger-happy effects of human nature with an unassuming potency of quiet outrage.
- Tiago Ramos @ Split Screen [Portuguese]
- Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: The film glosses over some of the drama of the story’s resolution, but otherwise it maintains a steady terrible drumbeat of the horrifyingly credible wreck of the life of an innocent man.
- José M. Robado @ CineCrítico [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La Caza (2013) es la nueva película de Thomas Vinterberg protagonizada por el premiado actor en Cannes, Mads Mikkelsen.
- [New – 2/6/14] | Don Simpson @ Smells Like Screen Spirit
- Excerpt: The Hunt brutally captures the hypersensitivity of modern day parents who view almost every grown person as a potential pedophile or kidnapper.
