- 91The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe PlaylistOliver LytteltonAvranas makes a claim to be considered among the top ranks of international filmmakers.
- 90Village VoiceZachary WigonVillage VoiceZachary WigonMiss Violence honors the thoroughly creepy work of Avranas's countrymen, but in his turn of the screw, Avranas marshals the abstract qualities of art cinema to comment upon concrete horror.
- 80EmpireEmpireA commanding, troubling domestic horror that should launch a long career for Avranas.
- What’s most disturbing about the film is indeed its placid, almost non-descript surface -- also echoed in the production design and camerawork -- and the knowledge that unspeakable things are happening offscreen and behind closed doors.
- 60Time Out LondonTime Out LondonWhat you take from Miss Violence depends both on your stomach for this kind of brutality, and whether you appreciate its cold, mannered formalism – one viewer’s stylistic tour de force is another’s grating Haneke pastiche. Still, this is punchy stuff.
