"A moody, gripping and solid follow-up."
— Wenlei Ma, PerthNow
"A handsomely produced, solidly acted thriller."
— David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
"Force of Nature looks magnificent and the sense of place from the location cinematography sets up an appropriate atmosphere of foreboding."
— Penelope Debelle, The New Daily
"There’s quite a bit to appreciate in Force of Nature: The Dry 2, including an elevated tone, strong performances and handsome photography of Victorian landscapes."
— Luke Buckmaster, Guardian
"Eric Bana delivers a deeply powerful, meditative performance, building on his work in The Dry. The ensemble all pack a powerful punch... A gripping, surprising, edge-of-your-seat detective mystery. It'll go down as another classic of Australian cinema."
— Dave Lee, Dave Lee Down Under
"It’s like a cross between the tense ambiguity of Picnic at Hanging Rock, and the madness-by-a-thousand-drips of Venus as envisioned by Ray Bradbury in The Long Rain; a moody and intimidating backdrop for Eric Bana’s Aaron Falk to solve another murky murder mystery."
— Cain Noble-Davies, Filmink
"Eric Bana is fantastic as Aaron Falk, bringing intensity, emotion, and a believable passion for justice. Visually, the film is a really strong proposition. Director Robert Connolly turns the Aussie rainforest into a foreboding beast; somewhere you truly feel you could get lost. As someone who had read the book, this film took the natural landscape to another level. If you loved The Dry, you’ll love Force of Nature. It’s a strong second entry in the Aaron Falk series."
— Jacob Richardson, Film Focus Magazine
