Rating: 4/5 -- A dark, visually arresting piece that uses its ambivalence and sordidness to pose serious questions about the limits of youthful delusions. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Simon Killer is a sensory, experiential film - more of a state of mind than a straightforward story.

Rating: 4/5 -- Corbet brilliantly pitches his character on a razor's edge between pitiful and terrifying: even when he's being sweet he reeks of malevolence. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- "Simon Killer" is a beautifully made look at ugliness and brutality, the kind of oxymoronic exercise that fascinates some and repels others. Full Review
