Philadelphia InquirerNovember 15, 2012Wake in Fright is essential viewing for anyone interested in the roots of male violence.
Chicago ReaderNovember 01, 2012A Conradian parable of a man succumbing to the wild, the film is remarkable for its raw, pointed dithe suggests, and you'll find the beast concealed behind the mask of propriety.
Seattle TimesOctober 25, 2012Several decades later, it still chills.
Philadelphia WeeklyMay 03, 2015This movie gets under your skin.
HeyUGuysMarch 12, 2014Wake in Fright is an absolute must-see for fans of cult, off-kilter cinema.
Observer (UK)March 09, 2014Blends staged re-enactments with documentary footage of senseless slaughter to extremely distressing effect.
Independent (UK)March 07, 2014Brilliantly directed by Kotcheff, the film has the disorienting and menacing quality of Joseph Losey films such as Accident and The Servant.
Daily Telegraph (UK)March 07, 2014It presents a world in which refusing a pint has violent consequences, high spirits quickly curdle, and an unspoken homoerotic undertow gets ever more disturbing.
