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
The great strength of A Prayer Before Dawn is its relentless physicality and lurking camera which never shies away from any of the filth of the prison.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
As an immersive audio-visual experience, it's a rather extraordinary technical feat in creating style and meaning from even the most confronting images.

Rating: 4/5 --
Part Rocky, part Midnight Express, and part Beau Travail, this adaptation of Billy Moore's best-selling memoir about his three years in some of Thailand's most infamous jails is a harshly immersive experience

The Sunday Age
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.
