    If you ask me, I say that this is a movie that you should see during your lifetime, and I'm not just saying that because it's one of my favorites, but because it's a very good movie.

  • 3. Moviezine
    10 / 10

    "Prisoners" is free from special effects and other nonsense that has spread like an epidemic among contemporary directors in Hollywood who can't find the brake pedal, and is an excellent example of what can be achieved with that insight; it doesn't take much to create a creepy, repulsive, and immensely exciting work - Denis Villeneuve, I salute you! - Victoria Machmudov

    "Prisoners" is poetic, unsettling, and slow-paced. - Victor Schultz

    The gripping tension in the film is built up like the winding of a spring in a music box. Thousands of clues reveal heartbreaking human destinies. And as the pace increases, a darker and more horrific resolution is revealed than anyone could have imagined. - Jan-Eje Ferling

    The film, which contains some extremely unpleasant scenes, consists of confrontations. Eye to eye. Man to man. Secrets are waiting to surface. - Mats Johnson
