Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis

Don McKay is a curious hybrid of warring tones that occasionally make peace. When they do, it's quite magical. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

The premise of the short-story-size comic thriller Don McKay is as thin and crumbly as a corn chip. Read full review

Nick Schager

Church oozes lonely-patsy schlubiness and Shue radiates crazed heat, but the movie ultimately relies too heavily on dry wackiness and goes too light on the fatalistic bleakness. Read full review

Glenn Whipp

McKay never quite catches fire as a thriller and, truth be told, it's not much of a character study either. Read full review

Michelle Orange

A strange, largely inert indie thriller, Don McKay has got good bones (inspired by Blood Simple, it has a solid cast and a strong pitch) but a terrible metabolism. Read full review

Wesley Morris

The only person in Don McKay having a better time than Shue is Melissa Leo, who plays Sonny’s insinuating housemate. She’s too much by half, in an Agnes Moorehead sort of way. Read full review

Rex Reed

A ludicrously pretentious train wreck masquerading as a movie. Read full review
