A review in The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a ruminative ensemble piece that expertly balances the tragicomic with the macabre, inhabiting territory adjacent to McDonagh’s stage work yet also sweepingly cinematic."

In a review for Variety, Guy Lodge wrote, "What begins as a doleful, anecdotal narrative becomes something closer to mythic in its rage and resonance: McDonagh has long fixated on the most visceral, vengeful extremes of human behavior, but never has he formed something this sorely hetbroken from that fascination."

A reviewer in the New York Times wrote, "The film was rapturously received here in Venice, earning a lengthy standing ovation and rave reviews".
