Peter Debruge Variety Never predictable (or safe) in his choices, “MouseHunt” architect Verbinski has been sorely missed. It takes a virtuoso of his caliber to execute on the movie’s intricate “Everything Everywhere All at Once”-level imagination. Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Roberto Tyler Ortiz Geek Vibes Nation It’s funny, disturbing, and deeply relevant, capturing the absurdity of our times with a smirk and a sigh. Verbinski hasn’t made a film this sharp in years, and Rockwell reminds us why he’s one of the best at juggling comedy and despair in a single breath Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) Gore Verbinski returns with a film that brilliantly holds a spotlight over the absurdity of our modern culture. You'll constantly feel shocked at the subject matter that is evoking guttural laughter. It's as entertaining as it is profound. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 17, 2025 Full Review James Preston Poole But Why Tho? A Geek Community Gore Verbinski is back and better than ever in a film that has it all. Rated: 9/10 Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Edgar Ortega The Cinema Spot Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die carries a stellar premise with a phenomenal lead performance from Sam Rockwell, even if its plotting muddies its messaging. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Sean Chandler Sean Chandler Talks About Verbinski delivers a dark, timely, and wildly funny satirical time-travel romp. The premise might sound familiar, but the execution feels entirely fresh and new. Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
