Film Geek Reviews on Dead Man’s Wire: “ [Bill] Skarsgård and [Dacre] Montgomery give such fantastic performances as these two men….There are so many layers to Tony, which I think Skarsgård brings out beautifully throughout the course of the picture.” www.filmgeekreviews.com/2025/10/dead...

AFI Fest 2025 Recap - IndieWire “Dead Man’s Wire” does make a [awards-contender] case for its director Gus Van Sant, lead actor Bill Skarsgård, and upstart screenwriter Austin Kolodney.”

Like father, like son

Cinemasters review: “The crown jewel of Dead Man's Wire is Bill Skarsgård's portrayal of Tony Kiritsis. I cannot possibly emphasize enough how much he disappears into the role…He plays Kiritsis with such intense ferocity” www.cinemasters.net/post/dead-ma...

Wildly #GusVanSant says @ #AFIFEST Austin Kolodney’s Dead Man’s Wire script had YouTube links to 911 calls + other vids - which he liked. He loves a challenge, was asked in Sept to direct a film shot in Jan & leapt @ the challenge to shoot a low budget film on a 20 day schedule!

“[Bill] Skarsgård gives a career-best performance, grounding Tony Kiritsis’ volatility with flashes of humor and heartbreak, while Dacre Montgomery and Colman Domingo deliver richly textured performances.”

Gus Van Sant delivers once again with Dead Man’s Wire, a tight film with terrific performances. It would not surprise me to see this film get some Oscar buzz. It’s certainly deserving of praise, and was a great way to begin the Austin Film Festival. 👍🏻👍🏻

Now @ #AFIFEST #GusVanSant takes the stage for a Q&A after his new film Dead Man’s Wire. It’s a fantastic return to form for the director. It’s a stylish, well paced real life crime film about a man taking revenge on the mortgage company who screwed him over. Def go see it!
