Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat American Meltdown is a modern-day neo-noir in the classic Los Angeles tradition, containing the same dark majesty you would find in a classic Stan Ridgway album. Rated: 8.5/10 Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Christopher Rhine Loud and Clear Reviews American Meltdown uses this premise as a launching pad, rather than the main plot driver [...]. The plot tension and character stakes don’t develop because the content is focused more on jokes than motivations. Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The dark comedy is as toothless as the social message. Rated: C+ Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy A riotous 'coming-of-rage' story about a millennial woman trying to make it, 'American Meltdown' is a fun joyride into homegrown anarchy.
