Critical response

Fishing Without Nets met with positive response from critics upon its premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Dennis Harvey, in his review for Variety, praised the film that "Cutter Hodierne makes an accomplished feature debut with this very well-crafted, empathetic hijacking drama."[7] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter in his review said that "While the setup and the moral dilemmas are all familiar from crime stories told in other settings, Hodierne does a fine job balancing the elements. The movie never reaches the sweating-bullets heights of its Hollywood cousin, but it's distinct enough from that film to keep us watching."[8] Ryland Aldrich from TwitchFilm praised the direction and editing that "From the gorgeous visuals to the incredible acting by non-professionals, Fishing Without Nets takes a world to which we've been recently introduced, and expands it to magnificent results."[9]
