"I was riveted by every moment of this haunting weird film. Enys Men made me legitimately uneasy."
— Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
"The film arguably shares DNA with the psycho-geographical works of Pat Collins and Alan Gilsenan."
— Tara Brady, The Irish Times
"Enys Men is for us. It’s a cult classic that didn’t feel the need to kill time in order to be called cult or classic."
— David Fear, Rolling Stone
"Whereas Bait was a lament for a way of life swallowed up by mindless urbanite tourism, Enys Men is a hymn to sublime, endless time and the hauntedness of existence."
— Christopher Machell, CineVue
"The witchy atmosphere Jenkin conjures is spine-tinglingly devilish, the poetic manifestation of the subject’s deep grief, ever-ambiguous and frosty, taking on the aching melancholy of loss."
— Jack King, The Playlist
"What Enys Men 'means' will differ for each viewer. For me, it is (like Bait) a richly authentic portrait of Cornwall, far removed from any tourist-friendly vision. . . I’ve seen the film three times so far, and I can’t wait to dive into it and be swept away again. Bravo!"
— Mark Kermode, The Observer (UK)
"It’s open enough to be perceived as a character study, a horror story, or something different altogether. But what is indisputable is the movie’s excellent use of wide shots and close-ups, the gorgeous production design and cinematography, and Woodvine’s quiet but compelling performance."
— Erick Massoto, Collider
"Shot by Jenkin on 16mm color negative with a 1970s clockwork Bolex and scored with post-synch sound, the film looks and sounds as a relic unearthed from one of the island’s caves. A chest stashed with stories in turns seductive and chilling, woven into a tale that will keep on unfurling, in an endless and confounding maze."
— Leonardo Goi, The Film Stage
