Initially the late-80s setting of Cold in July registers as kitsch, but it grows more evocative as the Carpenter impersonation gives way to something weirder and uglier.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Hall does his best to make sense of Dane, but the plot turns simply don't add up. Good work in a not-so-good movie.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Pulp fiction doesn't come much better than Cold in July, a gritty, grisly - and perversely giddy - crime yarn directed by Pottstown-born indie-film provocateur Jim Mickle.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer

A tense, engrossing Texas thriller with a sense of humor as sharp and wounding as a Bowie knife.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
