Empire Magazine
pressAn exciting, invigourating return to old preoccupations. Welcome home, Marty.
Time Out
pressOf course, it's immaculately crafted and exhilaratingly paced, but in the end it's never as emotionally involving as it could and should be.
Los Angeles Times
pressThis film dances on the edge of flat-lining just like the DOAs that are Frank's stock-in-trade.
The New York Times
pressAn intense, volatile film full of sorrow and wild, mordant humour.
Variety
pressAlthough Scorsese and Schrader may not have pulled off alchemy by transforming an undistinguished piece of literature into a great film, Bringing Out the Dead is still the best adaptation imaginable of its source material.
