Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Chandor follows the psychologically penetrating tradition of Sidney Lumet, Alan Pakula and Francis Ford Coppola, observing crime as a microcosm of society.

fresh:
Like that camel-hair coat Abel wears, A Most Violent Year is classy and commands respect, but a stronger pulse under the lapels would make us care much more.
– Liam Lacey,

fresh:
[A] tight anti-thriller, one where the violence of the title is more implied than seen.
– Peter Howell,

"A Most Violent Year" is a far more interesting film than its title implies. And a film you've never seen before.
– Calvin Wilson,

Abel is a man with ideals in a world that has no use for them: If he's going to succeed, he's going to have to use his wits instead of bullets.
