Reviews
88
The use of 2:35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. I would not like to be buried alive.
88
This exercise in racked nerves makes most of the year's thrillers look like flailing maniacs by comparison.

Variety
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
The movie's real asset is Reynolds himself, utilizing his comedy chops for unexpected levity.
75
The effect is genuinely creepy, but do not even think of seeing Buried if you suffer from claustrophobia.
