Critics' reviews

"One of the most harrowing and plausible visions of apocalypse since George A. Romero's 1968 zombie shocker, 'Night of the Living Dead."'

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"The story is convincing, as are the details, but too much is anecdotal (...) Still, 'The Time of the Wolf' is more than watchable"

Stephen Hunter: The Washington Post
"Among the cinema's many visions of the apocalypse, few have resonated with the chilly precision of Michael Haneke's 'Time of the Wolf.'"

Scott Foundas: Variety
"One of the most depressing, if not agonizing, movies I've ever seen."

Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"This is not an escapist sci-fi vision of the "future"; it's a tactlessly horrible here and now (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"Haneke shows again his mastery in the visual department but fails to match it with a suitable script, delivering a picture that is less disturbing, driven and focused than his best efforts."

Dan Fainaru: Screendaily
