At a time when it seems so many of the best film directors are moving over to television because the feature filmmaking process can’t accommodate their artistic ambitions, this pompous, know-something-ish, navel-gazing, indulgent, pissy, priggish, albeit reasonably well-photographed, pile of sick got financed to completion. Because Among Ravens is, finally, a thoroughly noxious concoction. - 20
Los Angeles Times
There's simply nobody to care about in Among Ravens, even as a case study in unhappiness and delusion. - 20
The New York Times
Among Ravens claws itself to death with sophomoric symbolism. - 10
Village Voice
Among Ravens wants to be the The Big Chill with Gen-X assholes, a weird ambition. - 10
The Dissolve
The film compares the behavior of ravens and humans—their similar tendencies to be protective, flock, and mate with others—with an expectation that profundity and insight will come. When it doesn’t, the film’s emotions feel calculated, not earned. - 10
The Hollywood Reporter
Featuring unlikeable characters, preposterously contrived plotting, ham-fisted dialogue and strained attempts at poeticism, Among Ravens is a misfire on every level. - 10
Variety
Nicely shot, atrociously written, shoutingly acted and intrusively scored (to classical selections and the heavy synth accompaniment of Fall on Your Sword), this roundelay of misery drowns itself in cliche after cliche.
