"...Prepare to be jolted by the intensity....The performances are as white hot as the subject matter..." -- Peter Travers , (Rolling Stone)

"...Writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz (Cafe au Lait) mines so much tension and pointed dialogue from a low budget and deceptively simple premise..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars -- Mike Clark , (USA Today)

"...Extremely intelligent....The in-your-face lensing and more formal compositions are used to maximum effect..." -- Lisa Nesselson , (Variety)

"...[A] precise and troubling film....Smartly aware that many urban problems are also global..." -- Caryn James , (New York Times)

"...Raw, vital and captivating....HATE is a visceral fable of a divided society heading blindly for a crash-landing..." -- Kevin Thomas , (Los Angeles Times)

"...As a filmmaker, Kassovitz has grown since his first film. His black-and-white cinematography camera is alert, filling the frame with meaning his characters are not aware of..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times)

"For all the comic byplay, Kassovitz keeps the viewer braced for the simmering tension to boil over." -- Matthew Leyland , (Sight and Sound)
