Reception
Gil Jawetz of DVD Talk rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote: "A tough film about a character's very internal unraveling, Soho Square uses the basic tools of filmmaking (editing, images, sound) in ways that bypass the need for a big budget." He praised Rafn's direction, stating that while Rafn "may be working with a tired genre", his "approach is fresh and unpretentious."[1] Anne Sherber of Video Store Magazine praised the "strong" performances and opined that Rafn's "displays a distinctive style in which time passing is articulated by the changing London cityscape in hyperspeed."[2] Ed Hulse of Video Business wrote that while the film "starts off well, promising a stylishly gritty thriller with a flawed but interesting protagonist", eventually the "technique becomes obtrusive and actually begins impeding the plot's development."[3]
