Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Sauvaire uses sight, sound and movement to bind us to the character and share his extreme dislocation.
New York Times
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Sauvaire isn't interested in this regional version of the sweet science ... [he] simply needs it to immerse viewers deeper into a world of violence and pain.

Rolling Stone
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Even as the story builds to a final mano a mano, the movie is less invested in a win-or-lose outcome than in taking you along for the ride.
Rolling Stone
A Prayer Before Dawn is remarkable in its brutalist mode, in sketching the grainy lives of these jailbirds...to see how far the body, and in effect the soul, could endure the inhuman hellhole that is their everyday surroundings.

Bangkok Post
[The filmmakers] effectively eschew narrative convention to tell this harrowing story of a meth-addicted Brit scraping by in Bangkok as an underground boxer...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
An arresting, if too vacantly handled biographic parable on the karma of ignorance and the value of tolerance, lead by an unreal central performance.

FrewFilm
Presented with an agitated camera and a bare minimum of subtitles, "A Prayer Before Dawn" adheres to neither the familiar beats of the boxing movie nor the claustrophobic machinations of the typical prison drama.
