"Carol Reed has made his film with deliberation and care, and has achieved splendid teamwork from every member of the cast. Occasionally too intent on pointing his moral and adorning his tale, he has missed little in its telling."

Variety
Variety"A picture to see, to absorb in the darkness of the theatre and then go home and talk about."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Fascinating but imperfect."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Suspense gives way to metaphor in a stark thriller that hints at the work to come from master Carol Reed."
—
Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"Reed's take on the material is innovative, letting realism blur into an anaemic, soul-searching delirium. Camera trickery is used to mind-bending effect and Odd Man Out's hallucinatory tone is often astonishing."
