Los Angeles Times -
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is as fine a film as it is a brutally disturbing one.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer contrasts the mundane and the domestic with the appalling. The tone doesn't vary at all, and it's not a pretty picture, but movies that burn their images into your consciousness like this one are very, very rare. It is admittedly hard to look, but this is a portrait that demands to be seen.

Slant Magazine -
The film doesn't so much bring us closer to the serial murderer as it reminds us of our culpability as spectators.

Chicago Sun-Times -
The film uses a slice-of-life approach to create a docudrama of chilling horror.

Rolling Stone -
McNaughton has made a film of clutching terror that's meant to heighten our awareness instead of dulling it. At the end, Henry is still out there among us. And he's no B-movie monster in a hockey mask. He could be the guy next door. This film gives off a dark chill that follows you all the way home.
