Critic Reviews

L.A. Weekly - Scott Foundas

Scaled like an epic but possessing the narrative simplicity of a fable, The Warrior unfolds over a brisk 85 minutes of screen time, keeping dialogue to a minimum as it celebrates the power of stories told through handcrafted, CGI-free images. Read full review

Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey

What begins as Lafcadia's journey into the heart of darkness ends as his pilgrimage into the light. Stunning. Read full review

The New York Times - Laura Kern

A minimalist but strikingly beautiful tale of renounced violence told with uncommon precision and depth. Read full review

New York Daily News - Jami Bernard

The title-character's redemption comes very slowly. But if you have patience, this is a stately, beautifully composed story. Read full review

Film Threat - Rich Cline

This is a timeless tale; the time period is irrelevant as the story is a profoundly personal one about trying to reject the strong internal drive for vengeance. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

The film's epic look is undermined by his narrow focus; in the end it feels rather thin and less than the sum of its handsome parts. Read full review

New York Post - Kyle Smith

The Warrior may be mighty of sword but he is exceedingly limp of writing. We never learn why he went bad in the first place, or what causes his sudden conversion. If the audience is expected to do most of the work, we should be paid $10.50 each. Read full review
