Fresh
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a handsome thriller, anchored by an arresting performance in the title role by Noomi Rapace.
Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
Fresh
A chilling detective tale, a horrific sexual abuse drama and an overlong, emotional, tie-up-every-loose-end melodrama that is sure to be half an hour shorter when Hollywood remakes it without Swedish dialogue and probably without the cool Swedish edge.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
Rapace's haunting, enigmatic Lisbeth is the element that leaves you eager for the next two installments. She's fantastic, and so is the movie.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
A bracing survey course on the mystery genre set in a Scandinavian landscape as cold as a killer's kiss.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
