The Daily BeastNick SchagerMay 10, 2024
Destined to be passionately adored and despised, it’s a provocation, a stunt, a dare, and an experiment—as well as a bold one-of-a-kind experience that...shouldn’t be missed. Read full review

Harmony Korine’s infrared assassin movie Aggro Dr1ft is a video-game-inspired experiment that’ll have you in a trance. Read full review

Slant MagazineMark HansonSep 13, 2023
It may indeed be the perfect cinematic representation of our current media landscape, adapting to our collective brain rot from being terminally online instead of fighting against it. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeSep 5, 2023
Because Korine’s never been one to subscribe to traditional narrative tropes, there’s an insidious sort of suspense running beneath the otherwise-thin plot, like some kind of high-voltage electric current. Read full review

The Film StageRory O'ConnorSep 5, 2023
Shot entirely in infrared and using augmented reality effects and AI imaging tools, Aggro Dr1ft appears like the fever dream of a day spent drinking lean, watching music videos, and playing God of War and Grand Theft Auto. At times it’s funny, dazzling, almost beautiful; at others ugly, misogynistic, numbingly dull. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerSep 5, 2023
It’s not really a movie at all, but more like a cross between a movie, a video game and a flow of hallucinatory images that could play in the background of a live show by rapper Travis Scott — who co-stars here as a gun-toting, philosophizing killer surrounded by a swarm of twerking booties.

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergMay 9, 2024
Korine achieves what he set out to do, which is locate a strange liminal zone between avant-garde filmmaking and searing viewers’ faces with a frying pan. Read full review

The PlaylistElena LazicSep 5, 2023
To call Aggro Dr1ft stupid or silly isn’t wrong, but it is missing the point. The dialogue is incredibly banal and hilariously repetitive, the story a thin assemblage of clichés. But the images! Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichSep 5, 2023
I was bored or exasperated by almost every minute of “Aggro Dr1ft,” but there are only 80 of them, and not a single second of this AI-inflected nightmare experiment feels insincere. Read full review

Paste MagazineBrianna ZiglerOct 12, 2023
Aggro Dr1ft is less interesting than the video game cutscene it resembles, padded by a narrative peppered with the tropes of a hit man action film but lacking substance. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriSep 5, 2023
Eventually, the oppressive sameness of everything becomes stultifying — which to me feels like a death blow for something so self-consciously experimental and wannabe visionary. Read full review

Screen DailyWendy IdeSep 5, 2023
While there’s a sense that Korine is fully at peace with a lack of meaning in his work, it’s doubtful that he was aiming to be boring. Read full review

PolygonAusten GoslinOct 18, 2023
AGGRO DR1FT isn’t an enjoyable or particularly well-made movie, but it is the movie I’ve thought about most this year. For better or worse, that’s worth something. Read full review

ColliderChase HutchinsonSep 13, 2023
Rather than come away feeling like you’ve watched something truly daring or inventive, it all feels derivative. It is a film that is too mundane to even get mad at. Read full review

Total FilmJane CrowtherSep 5, 2023
Meddle with sobriety and project it on a nightclub wall and maybe it works. As a film, not so much. Read full review
