What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Hunt is successful enough as a darkly humorous action thriller, but it shoots wide of the mark when it aims for timely social satire.

Nick Schager The Daily Beast 02/02/2021
This gleefully trashy, superficial satire takes shotgun aim at both Democrats and Republicans for their stereotypical assumptions about, and thin-skinned fury at, each other. Go to Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/28/2020

If Hollywood really is an elite liberal bubble, Damon Lindelof might just be the prick it needs. Go to Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian 04/04/2020
4/5
What I think this intelligent, violent movie is saying is that both stories are wrong because in races where it's us (or US) versus them there can be no winner. Go to Full Review Victor Pineyro Seventh Art Studio 10/04/2023

Progressive Hunger Games, some good action moments and jokes for a film that feels written by AI. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews 07/24/2023

The Hunt is a brilliantly dark satire on today’s political views of the world. It’s meant to be one of the most divisive films of the last few years, and it undoubtedly succeeds in its mission. Like dark humor, either you’re okay with it, or you’re not. Go to Full Review Paul Lê Nightmare on Film Street 07/20/2023
7/10
The Hunt is a movie at odds with itself. It wants to shed light on urgent social matters the writers think are worth discussing. Yet, bizarrely, the political slant here doesn't go the way anyone was expecting. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
