It’s visually ambitious in ways the show was increasingly allowed to be in later seasons, evincing a true cinematic language in terms of craft. But what will really matter to fans is the show has been allowed to end on its own terms. It’s the final job Ray deserves. Read full review

There are some nice references and callbacks, but where the movie truly succeeds is in getting to the emotional core of the series that—like Ray’s memories of the past—reveals its most important and formative truths. Read full review

While the movie finale may not come in a package that satisfies every diehard fan, it wraps up its compelling portrait of an eccentric working-class family as emotionally chaotic as should be expected; although the specifics still may come as a shock to some. Read full review

Peter Travers

This two-hour film wrap-up of the unjustly cancelled crime series may feel patchy and uneven, but it still gives Liev Schreiber’s iconic Ray—a hardcase-for-hire who can fix anything but the nightmare of his past— the send-off he and we deserve. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Although it's nice to see the show's creative team afforded one final swing, it's too bad they don't knock it out of the park. Read full review

John Anderson

Jan 13, 2022

There are a few characters and storylines that aren’t quite resolved, but the essentials—notably, what launched Mickey into a life of crime—are wrapped up in a way that should mollify a viewership left hanging when the show was so abruptly assassinated. Read full review

Kyle Fowle

This is perfunctory storytelling, a rather artless and dull 100 minutes that does nothing but check off a few predictable narrative boxes. Read full review

An underrated series and an underrated conclusion by critics. It ties up all loose ends with excellent acting and writing. If this series returned for ten more years I'd watch every episode.

Eu, por exemplo, nunca assisti a série, e o filme já começa com vários quadros que passam rapidamente narrando a história, sem nos deixar recuperar o fôlego.
Após as cenas iniciais, o filme finalmente se encontra, mas a edição ainda peca, confesso que fiquei confuso em algumas montagens, e olha que o enredo não é dos mais mirabolantes: Ray Donovan convivia com celebridades, e o filme mostra seu envolvimento em um crime quando jovem, reverberando no Ray já com mais idade, e não só a ele mas também em alguns personagens do passado e da própria família.
O filme não é longo, tem uma duração adequada que poderia até mesmo ser mais extensa se fosse para melhorar a apresentação dos personagens. Pra quem já conhece, é um prato cheio, os atores estão muito bem. Pra quem não conhece, recomendo ficar muito atento, especialmente às primeiras cenas.… Expand

The movie does tie up the Ray and Mickey dynamic I thought it was a little slow and skittle to much flashback I enjoyed the series and this is required viewing for the fans.

Just felt like a double episode of the show which I would not rank as a favorite. A lttle let down after a amazing build up to the tv final episode. I think the door is open to revisit this down the road but of not you atleast get some closure in the final movie. I would of not ended it that way and definitely see this Movie aka double episode of the show as nothing more than average . While the ending provides closure for Ray and Mickey dynamic it doesn't for an other characters. I admit it is hard to do two hours and this movie proved that .… Expand
