Ethan Hawke's performance...is a theatre of emotions and raw passion.
- Exclaim!
Ethan Hawke's performance - sympathetic, in pain, sensitive, and on edge - leaves open all possibilities
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Working with his excellent sound team and the cinematographer Ryszard Lenczewski, Mr. Pawlikowski adds dissonance to the audio track and narrows the world that Tom inhabits by playing with both the physical spaces and depth of field.
