Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Feb 18, 2016
3/5
Stephen Graham is ever reliable as Benjamin, a bare-knuckle boxer and family man who provides muscle and criminal favours for Shannon, an Irish consigliere to the local orthodox Jewish mafia. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian Feb 18, 2016
2/5
It's absurd material, very obviously overstretched, beyond breaking point, from its origins as a short. But Graham is as watchable as always, even when working with this tattered script. Go to Full Review
Dave Calhoun Time Out Feb 15, 2016
3/5
Stephen Graham and Michael Smiley are both strong presences in this gloomy, atmospheric drama. Go to Full Review
Matthew Anderson CineVue Apr 8, 2019
2/5

David Jenkins Observer (UK) Feb 21, 2016
2/5

Stefan Pape HeyUGuys Feb 17, 2016
3/5
There is undoubtedly a lot to be admired about Orthodox, but you can't help but feel somewhat underwhelmed considering the potentially compelling premise, and the impressive cast assembled to present it. Go to Full Review
