Self-consciousness passing for style.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

"Simon Killer" is a beautifully made look at ugliness and brutality, the kind of oxymoronic exercise that fascinates some and repels others.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Rotten
Another terrific performance from Brady Corbet, but it's in the service of a parade of horrors that never leads anywhere interesting.
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

It is brutally raw and difficult watching.
