Stephen Romei The Australian I quite liked it, for the performances, for its quick-witted script and for its subversion of the traditional crime drama. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 18, 2021 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Breaking News in Yuba County might think it's in on the joke but actually, it is the joke. Rated: 2/5 Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Here, nearly everybody is trying too hard and when in doubt, they get raucous for want of something better to do. Even Janney is struggling. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 3, 2021 Full Review Mitchell Beaupre Awards Radar Taylor is living in the shadow of his influences here, which makes sense as he still can’t seem to figure out who he is as a filmmaker. Rated: 2/4 Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Shares its main character's instability until it falls apart completely, failing to mix broad attempts at humor with startling violence. Rated: C+ Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Jade Budowski Decider Not even a cast including heavyweights like Allison Janney, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall can save Breaking News in Yuba County, a sloppy, mean-spirited attempt at dark satire.

Bill H Brilliant film. As dark as they come. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Michael G It was so bad it was almost good. If you could ignore the wanton violence and killing in the name of comedic license you'll find it entertaining. However Tarantino it ain't. There is not much subtlety about this movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Ashley G Why are ppl anti this movie? It's hilarious character acting by all, especially Awkwafina. If you like bizarre black comedies, you'll love this. I enjoyed tf out of it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review KEVIN C Allison Janney plays a meek housewife doing her daily affirmations when on her birthday her life as she knows it takes a turn when the police and media believe he husband has been kidnapped but she knows the very different truth. Part dark comedy and part small town crime film. Good cast populates this film including Mila Kunis, Regina Hall, Awkwafina, Matthew Modine and many more. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review steven m This is a total hidden gem. Cute, smart, and a massive cast. Not sure why this movie is getting the hate. people coming about nothing good goes to theaters then gems like this exist and people give it bad ratings. Sigh. Gotta support these types of movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the worst thing I have watched in a long time! I watched because of Allison Janney. I had to give it 1/2 a star but should be no stars! It is extremely violent, graphic, foul language and bloody! Do not watch!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/22 Full Review Read all reviews
