Critics Consensus

Meandering and insubstantial, Aloha finds writer-director Cameron Crowe at his most sentimental and least compelling.

Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Jun 10, 2016
1.5/4
Half the time while watching Aloha, I had no clue what was going on. Not so much the plot -- although I was admittedly a bit muddled on that, too -- but why anyone acted the way they did. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire May 28, 2016
It seems less that Crowe's gifts have escaped him than that they've become disproportionate with his excesses, and we're less forgiving of those trespasses. Go to Full Review Lenika Cruz The Atlantic Jan 21, 2016
The whole story is a tangled mess. Aloha sees itself as a quirky, funny, and sad, but loudly announces when it's trying to be those things. Go to Full Review Emma Simmonds Radio Times Nov 11, 2025
2/5
This star-studded film from Cameron Crowe is thinly drawn but it doesn't half lay the sentimentality on thick. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Jan 23, 2023
Aloha attempts to resolve two complex potential romances while simultaneously sounding the alarm against the military-industrial complex (!) and contemplating the ongoing marginalization of native Hawaiians. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Jun 21, 2022
1.5/4
Many of the actors remain so charming that watching them, even in a film as slapdash as this, makes the entire experience better than it really is. But that doesn’t mean Aloha should be considered passable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Cameron W @RT63884099 Sep 6, 2026 It’s really bad. I pulled up on my gf watching it and I was like “wow this is really bad. And Emma stone isn’t half Asian that’s weird.” I guess a lot of people feel that way. See more R T. @RT04709443 Jun 20, 2026 Stopped watching 20 minutes into the movie. The plot was lost on me. See more David S @IH8Phags69 Jun 5, 2026 The whole time it felt like I was watching a much sh!ttier version of Silver Linings Playbook! See more Donn T. @greathawaiian May 4, 2026 Horrible. Maybe it gets better but couldn’t watch it after the first 20 minutes or so. See more Daniel T @RT12638992 Apr 18, 2026 Was really feeling the chemistry between Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper, but wow. Instead of the last hour of this movie, I’d rather they just have the directors commentary explaining how it ended up being shipped in its current state. See more Maxsuel S @Maxine191 Feb 24, 2026 Não é um filme que ficou muito marcado pra mim. Não consegui me conectar tanto com a história e, mesmo tendo bons atores no elenco, não me prendeu como eu esperava. See more Read all reviews
