I can't stand it when a movie gives up its own rules.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Unfortunately, Never Let Go drops the ball, along with the bloodstained machete, just when it should be ramping up the tension.

Rated: 3/5

Rex Reed

Observer

ever Let Go never manages to answer any of a number of recurring questions adequately, and the movie makes no more sense than one of those head-scratchers by M. Night Shyamalan, which it annoyingly resembles.

Rated: 1/4

Stuff.co.nz

There were moments when this threatened to become this year’s Beasts of the Southern Wild or Fallen, but sadly those were just fleeting, the creators instead seemingly content to play things far more conventionally.

Rated: 2.5/5

A better version of the material might have kept its audience guessing - but this one tries, and fails, to have its tree bark and eat it too.

Rated: 2/5
