Reviews

Slate - David Edelstein
Impressive and heartfelt.
80
The New York Times - Dana Stevens
(Director Bigelow) piles up one nerve-racking crisis after another, interspersed with moments of ethereal, almost otherworldly beauty.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
There is one surprise in the movie, a decision having nothing to do with the reactor, that depends entirely on the ability of the characters to act convincingly under enormous pressure; casting stars of roughly equal weight helps it to work.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
The movie gradually works its way, with quiet intelligence and apparent conviction, until there's no turning from it. An hour in, and we're on that boat.
75
Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
Bigelow gives this film edge, tension and something you aren't expecting: a woman's touch for teasing out the buried emotion beneath those stoic surfaces.
