Reviews


88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The use of 2:35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. I would not like to be buried alive.
88
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
This exercise in racked nerves makes most of the year's thrillers look like flailing maniacs by comparison.
80
Variety - Rob Nelson
In purely cinematic terms, Buried, set in late 2006, is an ingenious exercise in sustained tension that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn over in his grave.
80
Time Out - Joshua Rothkopf
The movie's real asset is Reynolds himself, utilizing his comedy chops for unexpected levity.
75
Observer - Rex Reed
The effect is genuinely creepy, but do not even think of seeing Buried if you suffer from claustrophobia.
