[Hold the Dark] strives to depict, with unflinching sincerity, the imbalance and upset in the natural order that arises from the murder of innocents. It's harrowing, but strangely beautiful too. September 28, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Hold the Dark is the type of film you allow your brain to pluck at before fully deciding how enjoyable it is. The film is gorgeous to look at, but its meaning, purpose, and entertainment value lie strictly within how ominous you prefer your films to be. September 2, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
