Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 4h
4/5
It is grippingly unpredictable – a film with a glint in its eye and smoke curling from its nostrils and underpants. But you dismiss it, or miss it, at your peril. Go to Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) 4h
3/5
It’s ideologically flawed, structurally jumbled, and a little too enamoured by its dystopian predecessors. But it’s also sort of wonderfully personal, cranky and spiked -- like an affronted hedgehog trying to repeatedly ram your shin. Go to Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times 5h
3/5
The movie is too long, and headbangingly unsubtle, though it doesn’t always feel like a chore. It is, however, still more curious than it sounds. Go to Full Review Tori Preston Pajiba 26m
Even at its messiest, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die takes those stories you already know and builds something new from them. And the proof is that pit you feel in your stomach, as you realize you really should put your phone down. Go to Full Review Christopher Cross Asynchronous Media 3h
4/5
A chaotic cocktail of modern-day anxieties that revels in its depiction of a technology-focused society hurdling towards extinction and the ramshackle attempts to evade an almost-certain doom. Go to Full Review Emma Simmonds The List 7h
4/5
Acting as a wakeup call to get off our phones and out there into the world, it’s wacky, wise and wonderfully enjoyable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Brian 1h It really wasn’t that great. I laughed alittle at the dark humor but the weird shit in it ruined it for me. Weird ending. 2 1/2 stars is fair See more Matt H 3h Was the weirdest movie I’ve seen in awhile. I liked it but was very strange and was hoping for a better ending. See more Matthew S 6h A tried-and-true time loop premise wasted. There was a ton of potential here but even in 2 hours they couldn't seem to flesh it out properly. This was only the second movie I went into a physical, real, brick & mortar theater for in the last six years and it wasn't worth it IMO. They speedrun a backstory in the first half-hour or so, and then plod along for the next hour. The very, very end seemed tacked-on to make audiences happy(er), but the the ending as whole should've been much longer and laid out more cleanly. Maybe Hollywood will remake this in ten years like all things, and do it justice. Or better yet, an FX series. See more David R 6h A lot of fun. Great cast. Got a little loose with the sci-fi mechanics which prevented some of the plot turns from hitting as hard as they could have. See more Emily 9h Amazing movie!! It was so funny with good action scenes. See more D.R. 15h It is rare when a movie ending catches me by surprise. The casting was on-point when portraying the characters. See more Read all reviews
