Valhalla Rising Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Refn tries to turn his protagonist into a Christ figure at the climax, which might have worked better if the rest of the film weren't an endless slog of mud, blood, and graphic disembowelment.

Episode 27: Valhalla Rising / Bronson / Starred Up / True Detective S3
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
Valhalla Rising serves as to remind us that small filmmaking is not only effective, but vital.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A thundering visceral experience, a rich and layered work of art that acts as a stylistic punch to the gut.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Brutal, thoughtful, re-envisioning of Vikings. . .A bit ponderous and pompous, powerfully showcases Mikkelsen's non-verbal acting, striking imagery, evocative landscapes.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Mikkelsen verifies that, even without saying a word, he's an unnervingly unhinged presence.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Filled with brutality.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
A mad meditation on the primeval nature of man, faith and survival, this is Apocalypse Then, and then some.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
If only the pieces added up to an experience that sticks and that didn't finally succumb to a shrug of entropy.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
You sometimes wish Refn's gift for Ridley Scott-level mayhem had won the battle over his much iffier Werner Herzog leanings.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
It's a trip into a primordial world and primeval sensibilities, and if you're looking to shake off the mall-movie blahs, there are few better places to look.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Like a John Milius film reduced to its pure, masculine essence and shot through one of Alejandro Jodorowsky's lens filters.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Mr. Refn, who can pull off stylish brutality (in the Pusher films and Bronson), shows no knack for the kind of visionary, hallucinatory image making that would render Valhalla Rising memorable.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Lots of movies about the Middle Ages can do the mud and blood -- though we sure see a lot of both here -- but in this movie it's like Refn has ripped you out of time and dropped you there.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
When it comes to crazy, violent, semidelirious, testosterone-laden, proto-Viking tales about a mute visionary one-eyed warrior who breaks skulls, Valhalla Rising is pretty great.
Observer
Rex Reed
Valhalla Rising is nothing more than an updated version of the kind of time-honored Hollywood Viking movie Kirk Douglas used to do in his sleep, which means lots of inhuman, bone-crunching violence and no plot.
Village Voice
Vadim Rizov
A movie as maddeningly ponderous and self-important as its black-metal title.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
To dismiss Refn's repetitive approach as tedious would miss the poetic undulations of his elegantly minimalist exercise.
Slant Magazine
Lauren Wissot
The Bruckheimer-style storyline is merely an excuse to film a Joseph Conrad-worthy existential journey to hell.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Mesmerizing ... A trippy nightmare of savage poetry burning slow across bleak and otherworldly landscapes.
