Critic Reviews

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Apr 23, 2020

The pitfalls — drugs, marriage (Janina Use) to an amoral hustler to happens to be a banker) — are tried and true, if not downright trite. But it starts well, finishes with a flourish and finds enough “Isn’t this rip-off cute?” moments to be worth your while. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

The film’s plausibility-level isn’t perhaps as high as all that (it really works best as a period piece from the pre-2008 crash) but Kross brings to it a jaded, corrupted glamour. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

This is a competently crafted movie too shallow to come up with much reason why we should root for these people, and too derivative to make their vertiginous rise and fall more than forgettable formula entertainment. Read full review

Other than its misogyny, the movie, stacked with try-hard hedonism, fails to provoke more than mild annoyance. Read full review
