Movie NationRoger MooreJan 8, 2024
Foe bores the viewer to tears on the long march towards getting to its point. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanOct 10, 2023
The ending of Foe is not the problem. It’s the beginning and the middle that feel phony: at once as calculated and as uncanny as ChatGPT. Read full review

ConsequenceClint WorthingtonSep 30, 2023
It’s difficult to overstate how badly Foe fumbles its heady premise and firecracker cast, a film so dependent on its biggest secret that it’s both predictable and hard to grasp by the time the trigger is finally pulled. Read full review

Slant MagazineKyle TurnerOct 1, 2023
At every turn, Garth Davis’s Foe not only fails to adequately redress or rework played-out tropes within its high-concept world, but its examination of marriage and identity is also hackneyed. Read full review
