The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyJan 23, 2023
For all the movie’s quite credible conjecture about technology rendering nature obsolete and procreation becoming the privilege of the wealthy, The Pod Generation never fully hatches. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreAug 9, 2023
Barthes has given us an immaculate, vividly-believable future to be dreaded and avoided. But she’s put it in a movie so unemotional that we can’t invest ourselves in taking a stand to prevent it, even if the script ordains that the under-motivated Rachel and Alvy do. Read full review

However, it scarcely has anything to offer beyond the sleek technological designs it tries and fails to critique. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick Schager
Neither as scary nor as funny as its premise might be, The Pod Generation instead coasts along on a placid, self-satisfied wavelength. Read full review
