VarietyJay WeissbergApr 6, 2017
Boasting complex, sharply drawn characters and top-notch performances, this mature drama plays with ideas of seeing, both the outside world as well as within oneself, as Fluk (“Never Too Late”) masterfully depicts intimacies gone awry. Read full review

Screen DailyGraham FullerApr 6, 2017
All credit to Dan Stevens for rendering so vividly a selfish, abrasive character. Read full review

The PlaylistKimber MyersApr 6, 2017
The Ticket exists better as a parable than as a true-to-life drama. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesMiriam Di NunzioApr 6, 2017
This is a film that moves quietly along but speaks volumes. Read full review

The GuardianNigel M SmithApr 6, 2017
Admirably cynical until it loses its way in the final stretch, The Ticket nevertheless maintains a provocative allure, bolstered by a fiercely committed performance from Dan Stevens. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschApr 6, 2017
The Ticket is underwhelming in several ways, but the performance driving it is magnetic — and helps alleviate some of the bludgeoning obviousness of a morality tale that New York-based Israeli writer-director Ido Fluk hasn’t fully figured out how to tell. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisApr 6, 2017
The script is incapable of penetrating the moral thicket that the actors and the cinematographer, Zachary Galler, have so carefully woven. Read full review

Washington PostStephanie MerryApr 6, 2017
At its worst, the movie is a blunt critique of materialism, but there are some smart moments along the way in this methodically paced drama, which puts more emphasis on atmospherics than storytelling. Read full review

Village VoiceKenji FujishimaApr 6, 2017
If Fluk’s film has any impact at all, much of it is thanks to Dan Stevens, who brings an empathy to James that occasionally complicates the director/co-writer’s two-dimensional view of the character. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithApr 2, 2017
The Ticket abandons the potentially complex web of drama it initially sets up and moves toward a limp, shallow critique of superficiality itself. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenApr 6, 2017
Directed by Ido Fluk from a screenplay he wrote with Sharon Mashihi, the film is sensitively observed, its performances convincingly understated. But it rapidly devolves into a standard, and increasingly unfocused, story of materialism and greed. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkApr 6, 2017
Beat by beat, The Ticket offers one predictable, obvious revelation after another right down to its conclusion. Read full review
