"Who else but Scott has the required vision and nerve, never mind the resources, to keep making films like this these days?"
★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph 

"The film is set up for Comer to steal: alternately frisky, watchful and luminous, hers is the most internalised performance, and the one that most draws you in."
★★★★ Tom Shone, The Sunday Times 

"Damon is so convincing he even distracts us from his character's nasty facial scarring and the worst haircut I've seen since the 1976/77 football season, while I always think that Driver suits period drama like few other actors"
★★★★ Brian Viner, Daily Mail 

"The duel itself is a minor masterpiece of crawling dread, as Jean and Jacques career around a muddy pit, geed on by a baying mob. And Jodie Comer, exemplary as a cornered but determined woman, stands out in a fine ensemble cast."
★★★★ Paul Whitington, Irish Independent
