Roger Ebert

"The Grey" is an unrelenting demonstration that wolves have no opinion. When they attack, it's not personal.

The Guardian

This is an existential, God-baiting fable where the wolves are agents of destiny and the isolated protagonists must confront their individual fates, and the effect is as chilling as the weather.

The Guardian

Neeson confers weight and muscle on the movie, and endows it with a kind of emotional dignity it would not otherwise have.

IMDb

What the director was able to accomplish in this raw film is an inspiration. A man evolving from suicidal tendencies, a man who protected life but initially cares little of his own, revealed his true flesh of wanting to live.

IMDb

And the cinematography was absolutely perfect. The desolation and emptiness in the landscape had a strange beauty to it that was a bit mesmerizing. However, what was a bit problematic, and is always going to knock a score down pretty significantly in my book, is a weak screenplay, and a lack of believability. And unfortunately The Grey had both.
