Though vastly different, Spoor is a fascinating counterpoint to Darren Aronofsky’s “mother!,” as both feature a feminine inflected natural sphere attempting to defend itself from the depredations of a boorish patriarchy. But where Aronosky’s allegory flattens its Mother Earth figure into an eternal victim, “Spoor” plays a more subversive game, suggesting that the repressed will rise and that victims will not always remain that way.

This wildly entertaining eco-feminist crime caper, anchored by a winning lead performance from Agnieszka Mandat, isn’t just worth the wait, it’s an imperative watch. Read full review

Spoor remains witty throughout, breaking even the tensest moments with the lead’s acid-tongued appraisals of the local hunters. Read full review

While it doesn’t measure up to some of the director’s greatest such as “In Darkness” and “Washington Square,” Spoor makes an unmistakable political statement nonetheless, with Holland’s lens capturing the heart and soul of the animals some of the film’s despicable characters cruelly disregard.

Spoor is sensationally atmospheric. . . . The structure, though, seems counterproductively, even confusingly, elliptical, and the timing of flashbacks muddles the point of view. This is a whodunit that plays tricks with the “who.” Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Feb 18, 2017

The movie is murky and disjointed, held together not so much by what happens as by a vague atmosphere of obsession. Read full review

Filipe Freitas

Jan 21, 2021

Besides the main character, we see a bunch of loners attempting to fill a bit more of the unfocused main plot with distracting sub-plots that feel more ludicrous than fulfilling. Even with promising pouches of intrigue and an interesting, atypical character, we don’t get a full delivery of that promise. Read full review

In my opinion this movie is by far the weakest one by Agneshka Holland, a very talented director. Everything about this movie is either mediocre or just poor:
the plot, acting, even directing. Only cinematography is decent. As if it is made by a different person...

Utter garbage. Sorry but this film is the most useless thing I've ever seen. It felt like I was watching it for 10 hours. The poster for it looks like a cold, atmospheric horror movie or something, but you watch it and it's just a bunch of actors reciting lines about nothing, walking aroundUtter garbage.
