What to Know

Critics Consensus

Naked lives up to its title with a thoroughly committed performance from David Thewlis that's backed up with some of Mike Leigh's most powerful direction.

5/5
This is the greatest David Thewlis performance, in one of the greatest Mike Leigh films. Go to Full Review

This is a movie of virtuoso nihilism and scorn. Go to Full Review
Manohla Dargis Artforum 11/13/2018
An anti-epic -- retrofitted to the consciousness of an antihero raging into the close of a century, the end of the millennium. Go to Full Review
Susan Sontag Artforum 05/02/2024
I’ve been a Mike Leigh fan since 1977’s Abigail’s Party (as good as Molière). Naked is, I suppose, his deepest film. Go to Full Review

Mo S. @9mr_0 Dec 17 فيلم جميل جدا اداء الممثلين رائع تصوير ممتاز واخراج اسطوري لبعض الشافو الفلم و ما فتهموا و حسن ان عرف شيء بالفلسفة او خلى بعقلة ان هذه الفلسفة خلي افهمك الفلم مو استعراض فلسفة شخصية جوني ذكية لأنها تقرأ وراح تشوف هل شيء بالفلم لكنها مدمّرة وتكره نفسهايخلط العدمية ونقد الدين مع نرجسية وسادية فيطلع كلامه لامع شكليًا لكنه فارغ أخلاقيًا الفيلم يعكس فراغ وعزلة الفرد في لندن بتلك الفترة مو حقيقة فكرية عميقة See more J W Nov 21 this film was aimless, meandering, and packed full of pseudo-intellectual waffle from the main character. interesting as a snapshot in time to the early 90s in what is i expect north London... but yeah you're not missing anything if you don't see this. plenty of violence though, just... strange. See more David B Jun 14 Absolutely disgusting by 2025 standards [at least] for the abuse. I hope we can simply say that we have changed in the interim period. This is described as a comedy! Just sick ... See more James P 11/02/2024 A Character study on people all too relatable to society. A Hard Watch Due To SA scenes this dark gritty drama provides scenes that provokes question in to the audiences mind such as who to side with and if you even can. Mike Leigh’s grittiest to date, all thanks to his incredible pool of actors and vision to mold them. A film you need to watch again and again that limits you from doing so due to its overstimulating nature. Cinematography: 4/5 Writing: 4/5 Directing: 5/5 Acting: 5/5 Entertainment: 3.5/5 84% See more babarizam D 08/20/2024 I think its a great movie. It makes you hate it and than makes you love it. You can see yourself in it and thats what makes it so special. See more Ross v 08/10/2024 Let's remember that this film was originally made to be seen on a screen in 1993 in a pre-internet age. Its harrowing darkness and bleakness was unbelievably stark and brave at the time. I saw it in the cinema back then, and saw it this year on a TV screen while sitting at home. I can see why some people might view it negatively if they saw it that way. It is, ultimately, an art house kind of film that I absolutely loved at the time, and now find interesting as a sort of historical peak experience of grimy human nastiness. It is brutal and unappealing in many ways, but it is not forgettable. See more Read all reviews
