McQueen has taken the raw materials of filmmaking and committed an act of great art.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

Artful, beautiful in parts and unbelievably brutal in others, and no less honest for its stagecraft.Full Review

Reyhan Harmanci
San Francisco Chronicle

A disturbingly avid re-creation of the last six weeks in the life and slow, self-imposed wasting of Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands.Full Review

Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly

So what is Hunger? Unexpectedly, a visually ravishing tour of hell and a meditation on freedom that at best is wordlessly profound and at worst interestingly obscure.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

Sands' death is shown in a tableaux of increasing bleakness. It is agonizing, yet filmed with a curious painterly purity.Full Review
