Critic Reviews of "A History of Violence"
Associated PressApril 15, 2013The less you know about this movie before seeing it -- and you really should see it -- the better.
New YorkerApril 15, 2013Cronenberg's direction, mirroring the split in Tom, is alternately measured and frighteningly explosive, and, as always, he gives the movie a nasty underlay of sexual perversity.
Wall Street JournalApril 15, 2013This peculiarly predictable picture has been calculated, or miscalculated, to set up certain expectations, fulfill them, and then do the same thing again, thereby giving us a chance to see what's coming and, at least in theory, be shocked.
New York Magazine/VultureMay 12, 2006A remarkably convincing examination of heroism, hero worship, and the seductive allure of villainy.
RogerEbert.comOctober 07, 2005The film, based on a graphic novel, has a crackling sense of visual tension.

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)April 20, 2011Without conceding any of his iconoclastic vision, Cronenberg has turned a genre film with classic Western overtones into a gripping psychological drama that examines the duality of man and his infatuation with the art of violence.
Cinema WriterAugust 16, 2010While it weakens in its final stretch...A History of Violence succeeds enormously thanks to the strength of its direction and performances.
Cinema CrazedJune 23, 2010A truly entertaining and engrossing study of violence, family, and our pasts eventually coming back to haunt us...
