ObserverRex ReedJun 27, 2019
From Germany, the deeply disturbing domestic tragedy Three Peaks is another film of understated but driving intensity starring Alexander Fehling, a.k.a. the Paul Newman of German cinema. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergJun 27, 2019
Three Peaks has a placid surface, but Zabeil uses abstraction — with edits that elide information or play tricks with spatial perception — to deepen a trite scenario. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanJul 23, 2019
Three Peaks is not a devastating film like “Force Majeure” — another mountain-set foreign film about the exposure of fissures in a family dynamic — but it is a satisfying one.

If Zabeil didn’t want to deliver a formula picture, he needed to come up with something better than the formula. Read full review
