Critics Consensus

The top-shelf cast gives Coastal Elites a passionate pulse, but redundant speechifying and the stilted format result in a repetitive preaching to the choir.

Coastal Elites is so busy being mad about Trump that it forgets to be about anything else at all.

It's about as direct in its play to the anti-Trump crowd as it can possibly be. Nevertheless, I can't help but wonder who actually has the stomach for Rudnick's Trump-enraged quarantine view into the left-leaning electorate psyche.

Coastal Elites' flaws begin with its uninspired screenplay and blandly written ensemble.

Like all of 2020, Coastal Elites does too many things at once to ultimately do most of them well.

Roach and Rudnick take the most popular type of people and, by epigrammatic, provocative script, make Coastal Elites an excellent pandemic watch. Once you think you can relax and laugh, they hit you with a twist that stimulates reflection.

Essentially amounts to an alternate cut of last month's Democratic National Convention, marked by the same laziness of form and messaging.

Self serving rubish. Bet Midler an uninformed spoiled Sr citizen child. The only thing it accomplishes is it shows the true colors of actors you used to be willing to watch. Personally I will no longer watch anything with her in it for life.

I thought it very well manifested the dumbfounded frustration that many of the audience felt at the time.
