Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com Aardvark doesn't know how to do what it wants to do. It's not that the tone is uneven or uncertain, it's that the film doesn't have a tone at all. Rated: 1/4 Apr 13, 2018 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Three thoughtful performances and a couple of intriguing interactions, but it is ultimately undermined by an underwritten script. The parts are greater than the whole. Rated: B Apr 13, 2018 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Despite a strong lead cast and good intentions, "Aardvark" is a drag. Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Dan Tabor Phawker Shoaf builds to an odd crescendo and then mocks his audience for finally taking the leap with him. It's an audacious move that brings the third act to a grinding halt and really had me wondering what the director was attempting to accomplish. May 29, 2020 Full Review Charles Steinberg Under the Radar Zachary Quinto as the amiable, aimless and psychologically-troubled Josh who deals with hallucinations in a small town America and Jenny Slate as his new therapist Emily are begging for better material to work with. Rated: 2.5/10 Apr 18, 2018 Full Review Laura Hiros Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX) This movie is monotonous. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 1/5 Apr 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I watched this because I was on a Quinto binge and I think the reviewers didn't get it. It's not a feel good movie, but the story is solid and the performances are all exceptional. Mental illness is a tough plot line since everyone has their own take, so watch it for the actors and I think you'll find it's very truthful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst movie of the movie. Lousy. Crappy actors Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review andrei d E putin fortat spre final dar Hamm, Quinto li Slate lucreaza bine Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Looks like a pretty good movie which i saw on boxxy software. But I'm gonna need more Aardvarks. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A little too slow, but a sad, realistic story about mental illness. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/18 Full Review Audience Member It was probably good ... but I didn’t get it Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/18 Full Review Read all reviews
