Screen DailyTim GriersonJan 27, 2026
The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy. Read full review

Next Best PictureDaniel HowatJan 27, 2026
The Shitheads is one hell of a ride, with nonstop laughs and absurd, shocking turns around every corner. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerJan 25, 2026
A delightful film about the dim-witted and the disreputable. And though its humor ultimately wanes, it compensates with a surprising measure of tenderness. Read full review

The PlaylistMarshall ShafferJan 27, 2026
Comfort with loveable loserdom is the glue – or maybe the scotch tape – that holds together a rickety contraption careening constantly toward calamity. Read full review

The Film StageKent M. WilhelmJan 27, 2026

The Shitheads is an enjoyable, dark take on the buddy-road comedy that could've maybe used a bit more finessing, but hopefully this isn't the last time we see Blair try this type of comedy. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterRichard LawsonJan 29, 2026
Blair keeps the strange comedy coming, but he also lets the film dip into moments of contemplative thought, into hardscrabble philosophy. The Shitheads simply becomes a far more interesting film — a suspenseful one, too. Read full review

VarietyCarlos AguilarJan 27, 2026
Sure, the case can be made for this contrast between scatological humor and serious insight working as a mirror for how quickly a person’s reality can shift from joy to sorrow, but the overall effect is puzzling. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichJan 27, 2026
A smattering of individual moments achieve the kind of madcap insanity that a movie like this needs for momentum, but “The Shitheads” is plagued by stop-and-start plotting that does more to stifle its energy than build to it. Read full review

TheWrapMatt DonatoJan 27, 2026
While The Shitheads doesn’t turn completely, it never fully recovers from what ends up feeling like an out-of-place, car-into-a-brick-wall choice of a tonal crater. Read full review
