Jacob Oller AV Club American Sweatshop feels like it’s casually swiping through its themes, never coalescing into a feed as unsettling as the real thing. Rated: C- Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast The film begins with a unique bad workplace setting but abandons that drama in favor of a weaker Promising Young Woman-like revenge tale that squanders a potentially fascinating psychological drama on our worst social media instincts. Rated: 2/4 Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central Fascinating in story but light on character development, it’s overall a tense little thriller about trying to understand reality in the 21st century. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine Does each of us take to the streets and police these instances at the source, or is the answer much more complex and uncomfortable to manage? “American Sweatshop” settles for murky generalities rather than making its point loud and clear. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Nate Richard Collider After proving herself as a director on TV shows like Stranger Things and Severance, Briesewitz has delivered a promising directorial debut, with fascinating characters and takes us on a journey to a world that we don't often see in American films. Rated: 7/10 Mar 15, 2025 Full Review Rachel Tolleson The Mary Sue Reinhart does a great job with the material she is given, but there comes a point during the film where it does not feel like Daisy’s actions can be justified. Rated: 3/5 Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
