Best two reviews:
1) The New York Times - The clammy chill that pervades The Hunter, the fourth feature film by the Iranian director Rafi Pitts, seeps under your skin as you wait for its grim, taciturn protagonist to detonate. (Rating: 90) Read Full Review >
2) Chicago Sun-Times - This is a parable about modern Iran, and like many recent Iranian films it leaves its meaning to the viewer. One of the wise decisions by Rafi Pitts, its writer, director and star, is to include no dialogue that ever actually states the politics of its hero. (Rating: 88) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
8) New York Daily News - His story, like the current release "A Separation," shows a glimpse inside Iran of everyday reversals of fortune, and how easy it is to get caught in the crosshairs of bureaucracy, bad judgment and bad luck. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
9) The New Yorker - The whole film, in fact, which Pitts wrote and directed, lurks on the borders of the unspecified. That is the source of its cool, but also of its sullen capacity to annoy. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
