	Author	Review
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Gruesome without being gory, 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' achieves real scares with a minimum of special effects"	POS
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Even when the movie’s falling into a straighter line, the early emphasis on quietly nuanced characterizations and a measured pace give the danger more dimension."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] takes body horror to a new level but leaves its brain behind"	NEU
United States	Michael Nordine The Wrap	"A cut above most horror flicks, especially the jump-scare-heavy fare that tends to be dumped into multiplexes this time of year."	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"The first half is effective. The second is just kind of silly."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mike McCahill The Guardian	"Øvredal keeps matters brisk, while carrying over a very Scandinavian air. It’s functional VOD filler, but chilly with it (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Featuring excellent work from grandstanding Cox and just-lying-there Kelly, 'The Autopsy Of Jane Doe' creates a successful feeling of mounting dread punctuated by crashing thunder and surgical viscera (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
