Movie Reviews
“Tafdrup’s squirm-inducing tale should find ready berth among genre fans. At the same time, its all-too-palpable cruelty will repel some viewers (…) Skillful, unpleasant feature”
Dennis Harvey: Variety
“Assisted by the coolly distanced work of cinematographer Erik Molberg Hansen, ‘Speak No Evil’ patiently draws the darkness out of its landscapes”
