- 70Screen DailySarah WardScreen DailySarah WardIf the film didn’t rest on such composed performances, it might have conjured melodramatic disbelief, but the excellent Fehling and Montgomery play their pivotal figures with the requisite nuance.
- 70The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergThree Peaks has a placid surface, but Zabeil uses abstraction — with edits that elide information or play tricks with spatial perception — to deepen a trite scenario.
- 63Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenThe film ably plumbs the fears of a well-meaning man who tries his best to play by the rules of middle-aged courtship.
- 63Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanThree Peaks is not a devastating film like “Force Majeure” — another mountain-set foreign film about the exposure of fissures in a family dynamic — but it is a satisfying one. There’s just enough closure to its inconclusive climax to allow you to relax, even if it doesn’t give you much to terribly ponder during the drive home.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungThe Hollywood ReporterNeil YoungThis is a demanding and fitfully rewarding film which focuses minutely on the shifting relationships between its three protagonists.
- 50RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzRogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzUnfortunately, Three Peaks is so thinly conceived and executed that, for the most part, it fails to justify its existence as a stand-alone feature.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThree Peaks is a dark little family drama, a ticking time bomb of a movie that is well made but never totally satisfies.
