After winning an Academy Award for The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow is back with a docu-drama about Bin Laden. Here's what critics said after its first screening this weekend

Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow's followup to 2009 Oscar-winner The Hurt Locker, centres on the Us Navy Seal unit that raided Osama bin Laden's compound in northern Pakistan last year.

The film was screened to Us critics in New York and La over the weekend – and early reactions suggest it could replicate the success of the director's last film.

The Hollywood Reporter said:

Whether you call it well informed speculative history, docu-drama recreation or very stripped-down suspense film-making, Zero Dark Thirty matches form and content to pretty terrific ends. A long-arc account of the search for Osama bin Laden seen from the perspective of an almost insanely focused female CIA officer who never gives up the hunt until the prey ends up in a body bag.
