You cannot help being stirred by the reach and depth, the constant rebuffs to sloppiness, of a strong ensemble.

Though the dirt and grime in North Country are artfully applied, it's purely cosmetic and skin-deep.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

North Country does a good job in ratcheting up the tension and unfairness until the audience is brought to the breaking point.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

If there was ever any thought that perhaps Whale Rider was a fluke, North Country should erase all doubt.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

North Country delivers an emotional wallop and a couple of performances worthy of recognition come award time.
