Critics Consensus

A stylized satire whose audacious design proves too mannered for some of the laughs to smoothly land, Digger is a bold swing of the shovel by Tom Cruise and Alejandro González Iñárritu that misses as often as it strikes gold.

Audience Says

As meta as Tom Cruise is magnetic, Digger ambitiously digs into satire with mixed returns -- a vibrant masterpiece for some and turning up coal for others.

Even with all the imagery of rising coastlines and submerged streets, Iñárritu knows where he resides. He can’t help but remind us that it’s on the little patch of moral high ground reserved for those who Get It.

Iñárritu portrays the average person as a seal, ready to bark and clap at anything that so much as alludes to reality. His film has ill will spewing from every pore, a complete loathing for humanity.

The ultimate irony is that Digger ends up resembling too closely what it attempts to question: a work convinced that its thematic importance justifies any excess. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

Digger is anstrong film by Alejandro Iñárritu, with Tom Cruise bringing a career best performance. Lofty themes and layered characters come together for a story that may not resonate with every crowd, yet it needed to be told nonetheless.

Found the movie unsettling, different and entertaining. Some critics complained the acting was over the top and loud but (spoiler) if you accept you’re watching a movie about a stage play, stylistically it all makes sense.

Deeply confused by any bad reviews. Wonderfully acted, beautifully shot, great production design. Super original and relevant.

The hate is unwarranted and an excuse to just crap on Tom and cast. This will be more true sooner than later and we gotta wake up. 10/10 he deserves that Oscar
