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.

Kevin Maher Times (UK) This is the greatest David Thewlis performance, in one of the greatest Mike Leigh films. Rated: 5/5 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian This is a movie of virtuoso nihilism and scorn. Rated: 5/5 Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Manohla Dargis Artforum An anti-epic -- retrofitted to the consciousness of an antihero raging into the close of a century, the end of the millennium. Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Susan Sontag Artforum I’ve been a Mike Leigh fan since 1977’s Abigail’s Party (as good as Molière). Naked is, I suppose, his deepest film. May 2, 2024 Full Review Wael Khairy The Cairo Scene Naked is a rarity that you only stumble upon once or twice in a lifetime. Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault A fascinating, aggressively verbose slice of British squalor. Rated: B Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

James P 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% Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review babarizam D 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Ross v Let's remember that this film was originally made to be seen on a screen in 1993 in a pre-internet age.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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I honestly can't understand why this has such high ratings. The most annoying lead character I've ever seen in a film and what a miserable, pointless film it is featuring horrible scenes of sexual assault throughout. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Will M as reflexões levantadas pelo protagonista detestável fazem o filme valer a pena Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Jeff T When does this start to get good? I've had about all I can take of this insufferable main character. Is he funny? Clever? Profound? Nope. Annoying as hell? Yup. Edit: Like a fool I watched to the end, gave it a chance. I want my 2 hours 12 minutes back. This is probably now my least favorite movie. What just happened. Oh: Unrepentent monsters, these two men. Content warning for sexual assaults.
