Film ThreatAlex SavelievJul 7, 2022
Louis C.K. should’ve applied sandpaper to the movie’s rougher edges; he should’ve adopted the jazzy, purposefully meandering, “anything goes” vibe of his previous outings. The comedic drama starts off like that, then collapses in its last third in a heap of sentimental mush. Read full review

Fourth of July is a trifle, and a facile, easy-to-watch one. But what it’s offering under the surface feels, in part, like a clandestine defense of Louis C.K.’s transgressions.

The PlaylistNick AllenJul 1, 2022
This movie, a forgettable indie aside from who directed it, offers sentiment, and its existence. That’s about it. Whether one is revolted or delighted by another C.K. production, Fourth of July is a dud. Read full review

As a director, Louis C.K. puts several feet wrong. Read full review

Fourth of July turns out to be something we would have never expected from its director/co-writer — bland. Read full review
