It's the future and we've solved all the world's problems: mitigated climate change, eradicated poverty, achieved trans-species equality. There's just one catch... humans have to end life at 50 and teenage artists have to document it. It's Kiah's first day on the job.

“Can I Get a Witness?” is undone by its need to explain itself, giving its characters the kind of dialogue that’s always meant to provide some backstory about how the world got to the way it is.

Far Out Magazine

A combination of commitment to a longstanding cause, and youthful optimism, hold things in place.

That Shelf

[Can I Get a Witness's] conclusions are quietly audacious, making it one of the most fascinating and surprisingly life-affirming genre experiments in recent memory.

Collider

Can I Get a Witness? certainly lays out a troubling checklist of urgent problems we humans face. Too bad the movie itself doesn't convey that same sense of urgency within its own lightly-spun tale.

Rated: 4/10

Loud and Clear Reviews

an almost two-hour sermon defined by a depressing misanthropy that seems more likely to breed resentment than further the environmental cause.

Rated: 2/5

Cinema Daily US

Fleming’s film is a thoughtful meditation on what we do while we live and why we do it, asking questions by showing how people react in given situations.

Rated: B
