The New York Times - Jeannette Catsoulis
The Snowtown Murders reminds us that sometimes evil is immediately recognizable, but at other times it comes bearing bacon and beer.
80
Empire - Kim Newman
Terrific performances, especially from the menacing, lazily charismatic Henshall, and debut director Kurzel's expressionist storytelling make for an Aussie film well worth hunting down. A tough but seriously rewarding watch.
80
Movieline - Unnamed
The Snowtown Murders is the latest and bleakest in a string of Australian crime films showing flashes of virtuoso talent, and has more than a little in common with David Michôd's 2010 hit "Animal Kingdom."
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Unnamed
Only the truly ghoulish will find any pleasure in Snowtown, Justin Kurzel's well-crafted but hard-to-watch true-crime debut.
67
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
The Snowtown Murders manages to become a compelling exercise that excels at making horrible acts look shockingly listless.
