Filmoria wrote: "Although "Hunting" tells an unacceptable story, and the viewing is not excellent. But the film is extremely exciting and memorable." "The Guardian" commented: "Mades Mi Coleson’s performance was very precise, and it was powerful in conjunction with the film’s story and Winterberg’s narration."
"The Hollywood Reporter" wrote: "This is Winterberg's best film after "Family Celebration". One of the big reasons that makes the film so good is that Mads Mikkelsen is shocking. Performance."
"Variety" stated: "Compared with "Family Celebration", "The Hunt" is a larger film and reflects more events."
