Reviews


90
Screen International - Unnamed
It’s a beautifully composed ballad that both celebrates and laments the passing of time and resonates long after the credits roll.
90
Los Angeles Times - Sheri Linden
Beneath its quiet surface, the Austin, Texas-set drama Barracuda thrums with menace and mystery from first moment to last.
84
TheWrap - Todd Gilchrist
Cortlund and Halperin (“Now, Forager”) demonstrate a gift for not only creating beautiful images in unexpected moments, but also avoiding narrative shortcuts or tonal clichés to tell a story that covers familiar territory while ultimately defying easy categorization.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
Co-directors Julia Halperin and Jason Cortlund (Now, Forager), working from Cortlund's script, keep us guessing not only about the intentions of Sinaloa (Sophie Reid), but also about the path of their absorbing, mostly low-key thriller, which builds atmosphere, psychological texture, an ingrained sense of place and a needling undercurrent of dread.
75
RogerEbert.com - Sheila O'Malley
Even though other characters appear from time to time, Barracuda is a two-hander, with one extraordinary scene after another (the script was written by Cortlund).
