As a group of episodes, the movie keeps our interest not by linear plot, but by finely drawn characterizations.
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

Antal keenly juggles black comedy, character types and genre styles, making the most of the weird angles and inherent dark creepiness of his chosen backdrop.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times

Singular in its location and singular in mood.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Kontroll is the first work by a director who is clearly gifted and who has found a way to make a full-bore action movie on a limited budget.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
