New York Magazine (Vulture)A.A. DowdJun 28, 2024
The don’t-speak values of the series, faithfully preserved by Sarnoski and beautifully expressed by Nyong’o, are still welcome in a Hollywood landscape that would prefer to drown audiences in sound. But if you repeat it enough, a bold new approach to multiplex thrills becomes just more noise. Read full review

As an emotional journey Day One has its moments. For a supposedly scary movie, it's a little bit sloppy. Read full review

Ultimately “Day One” could have been set around any old apocalypse. Tethering it to the rules of “A Quiet Place,” a smart premise whose novelty is impossible to recreate let alone build a world upon, just holds it back. Read full review

Paste MagazineHafsah Abbasi Jul 1, 2024
The premise of Michael Sarnoski’s Day One hints at a more filled-in world, but plays more like a maudlin, shallow commercial for the franchise, aided by an overused, cloying score and simplistic, navel-gazing character arcs. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeJun 27, 2024
“Day One” ought to have been the mind-blowing origin story, and instead it’s a Hallmark movie, where everyone seems to have nine lives — not just that darn cat. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiJun 27, 2024
Unfortunately, the film doesn’t invest in its characters or in its world beyond the surface, so why should we? Read full review
