  • ""Magic Hunter" is an escape into another reality, a rich work of art, and left me wanting to see it again for what I missed in one viewing." - Mary Weems (Movie Magazine International, 1996)
  • "For many people, watching an art film will illicit two frequent responses: "Who the hell are these people?" and "What the hell are they doing?" Most art films defy conventional communication in favor of symbolism and style. They tend to represent an intellectual journey rather than a mere two-hour entertainment fix. [Magic Hunter] tries its hand at both.... As a director, Enyedi pulls a luminous quality from the film. The mystical and the realistic blend with an integrated harmony. Dramatically, the film succeeds well. Gary Kemp (late of the British pop group Spandau Ballet) is quite good as the confused cop caught up in circumstances slightly beyond his own control. Fellow British actor Sadie Frost is magnetic in her screen persona as the pure (almost "virginal") mother. The triangle between Max, Eva and Maxim leads to some of the film's most effectively tense drama." - Devin D. O'Leary (Film Vault, September 1996)
  • "For some reason, watching from Max's perspective generates a feeling of sadness mixed with anxiety and longing. It's a little like the feeling you might have going out the door to work on Christmas morning, when everybody else in the house is going to stay home and have fun." - Mick La Selle (San Francisco Chronical, July 1996)
  • "Bizarre and generally beautiful, Magic Hunter offers the filmmaker's belief that in our past and in our culture lie the solutions to modern-day ills. All this and subtitles, too." - Liz Braun (Toronto Sun, June 1996)
