5/5
This makes every other documentary look obtuse and irrelevant. Go to Full Review Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter 10/14/2020
Ultraviolence is only a small contribution to a huge ongoing debate, but these unresolved tales of injustice deserve to be amplified and interrogated... Go to Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) 10/13/2020
4/5
It's the small and intimate details, however, that give the film its power. Go to Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) 12/06/2022
4/5
