A truly entertaining and engrossing study of violence, family, and our pasts eventually coming back to haunt us...
October 07, 2005
The film, based on a graphic novel, has a crackling sense of visual tension.

The less you know about this movie before seeing it -- and you really should see it -- the better.
October 04, 2013
A fascinating exercise in cinematic restraint resulting in a captivating, not to be missed film.
April 15, 2013
This peculiarly predictable picture has been calculated, or miscalculated, to set up certain expectations, fulfill them, and then do the same thing again, thereby giving us a chance to see what's coming and, at least in theory, be shocked.

With A History Of Violence, Cronenberg uses the pulp gangster genre - as opposed to, say, sci-fi horror -- to draw us into a dialogue on our relationship as voyeurs to violence, both real and cinematic.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A model of clean, lean storytelling.
April 20, 2011
Without conceding any of his iconoclastic vision, Cronenberg has turned a genre film with classic Western overtones into a gripping psychological drama that examines the duality of man and his infatuation with the art of violence.
New York Magazine/Vulture

A remarkably convincing examination of heroism, hero worship, and the seductive allure of villainy.
August 16, 2010
While it weakens in its final stretch...A History of Violence succeeds enormously thanks to the strength of its direction and performances.
December 10, 2015
Hopefully [it will] encourage a sobering sense of responsibility and a more truthful perspective on identities (individual and national).
New Yorker

Cronenberg's direction, mirroring the split in Tom, is alternately measured and frighteningly explosive, and, as always, he gives the movie a nasty underlay of sexual perversity.
