Reception
Rob Nelson of Variety called Hors Satan "Another 'WTF?' film from Gallic writer-director Bruno Dumont", and went on: "Like Dumont's Twentynine Palms and Life of Jesus (give or take the Cannes Grand Prix-winning L'Humanité), Outside Satan flirts with all-out absurdity, as if managing to keep it at bay will be the director's own miracle, highly subject to interpretation. Less debatable are the film's technical merits, with d.p. Yves Cape delivering naturalistic beauty on a wide canvas, and the on-location sound work capturing every minute nuance of bird-chirps, cock-crows, and blasts of both wind and, uh, shotgun."{{cite news|last=Nelson |first=Rob |date=16 May 2011 |url=https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117945244?refcatid=31 |title=Outside Satan |work=Variety |access-date=16 May 2011}}
British film critic Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, saying that "Bruno Dumont's film-making is just so fluent, unnerving, gripping; he is entirely unique".{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/jan/03/hors-satan-review |title=Hors Satan (Outside Satan) – review |work=The Guardian |author=Peter Bradshaw |date=3 January 2013 |location=London}} Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly granted the film a B+ and called it an "austerely wild, religiously amoral drama... set in untamed northern coastal France," adding, "Dumont's rigorous, serious attention to the mysteries of good, evil, and faith rewards those willing to be confounded."{{cite journal |url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20665274,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130311151042/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20665274,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 March 2013 |last= Schwarzbaum |first= Lisa |authorlink= Lisa Schwarzbaum |title= Outside Satan |journal= Entertainment Weekly |date= 20 January 2013 |location= New York |publisher= Time Inc. |page= 101 |access-date= 11 April 2014}}
