The New York Times
The best movie of its kind since the French director Guillaume Canet's hit from 2006, "Tell No One." - 85
Movieline
To say too much about what actually happens would be to rob you of the film's risks and narrative ripostes. What should be noted is that Capotondi makes ambitious use of an unreliable narrator in a way that is rarely seen in modern films. - 80
New York Daily News
A twisty Italian thriller that takes some liberties with its now-you-see-'em/now-you-don't plot points, but no matter; the way director Giuseppe Capotondi keeps us guessing is deliciously, maliciously deft. - 70
Variety
Not so much a genre movie as a movie that switches between genres -- and comes out on top. - 67
The A.V. Club
Pretty to look at, making good use of the scenery in and around Turin; if nothing else, the runaway plot keeps the movie unpredictable. - 63
New York Post
Doesn't always deliver on its twists. But it works well enough that an American remake is in the works. - 60
Boxoffice Magazine
The twists and turns in The Double Hour are not arbitrary; rather, they are well considered and effective, right down to the last frame. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
A smart psychological thriller with the one fatal flaw that Slavic women in Italian television and cinema must be dark, tormented characters who hardly ever smile. In a criminal caper with a twist, this actually works against the story.
