Critic Reviews of "A Prayer Before Dawn"
AV ClubMay 22, 2017It's a spare, brutal, well-crafted prison drama, anchored by an at-turns wildly aggressive and hauntingly vulnerable lead performance by Green Room's Joe Cole.
VarietyMay 22, 2017A big, bleeding feat of extreme cinema, given elevating human dimension by rising star Joe Cole's ferociously physical lead performance.
Sight and SoundJuly 19, 2018The routines and rituals of prison life and the boxers' training regime create an almost hypnotic spectacle, defined by the give and take of sparring body shots and repeatedly massaged limbs.
The National (UAE)July 19, 2018There's no medal for enduring this gruelling cinematic encounter... but you'll be glad you did.
Independent (UK)July 19, 2018It's a full-blown method-style performance. We don't question its authenticity for a moment.
Daily Telegraph (UK)July 19, 2018Cole... plays Moore with a clamped-down, concentrated ferocity: the character is no roguish anti-hero, but a frantic knot of sinew, to whom we don't relate so much as just cling onto for dear life.
GuardianJuly 19, 2018This is grisly, visceral, often unwatchably brutal stuff: what seems like a moment-by-moment depiction of an unspeakable ordeal.
Financial TimesJuly 18, 2018The viewer feels he is there with the cellmates and Hell-mates, a tabula rasa innocent abroad flung in among the tattooed and indigenous.
The ListJuly 16, 2018There's finesse in the filmmaking, colour and conviction in the supporting performances... but it's Cole that really sells it, by making you feel like he's living every single horrible second.
Movie NationJuly 13, 2018A prison pic that separates itself from the genre by never flinching or shying away from the horrific violence
Shadows on the WallApril 02, 2018The film is utterly riveting, as director Jean-Stephane Sauvaire takes the audience on a jarring, unforgettable odyssey that leaves us with some big themes to chew on.
