Critics Consensus

Fumbling the ball well before the red zone, HIM has style to spare but botches its promising conceit with rookie execution.

Audience Says

Cool ideas don’t always coalesce into a powerful narrative, and while HIM charges full force with visual aplomb and bold symbolism, it ultimately falls short of a cinematic touchdown despite its intriguing social commentary.

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

Him falls apart in the second half as it becomes overwhelmed by everything it wants to say about football as a religion - and subtext very quickly becomes text.

Rated: 2/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Directed with the hollow showiness of an advert for trainers, this is a film that, despite the macho toxicity, only comes alive when Julia Fox’s malevolent trophy wife is on screen.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

Tipping and his editors are experts when timing and choreographing the film’s nastiest moments, and the compound’s design...has a genuinely sinister atmosphere. But they don’t know when enough is enough.

Rated: 3/5

Antonio Trashorras

Fotogramas

A jolt of cinematic energy, with matches that play like hormonal witch-gatherings set to an electro beat, 'HIM' is born from the pairing of heightened horror and the canonical sports fable. [Full review in Spanish]

The concept of Him is an interesting idea, though certainly not original.

Jeff Beck

The Blu Spot

Justin Tipping's "Him" is an attempted sports-horror hybrid that sadly fails not just in both of its genres, but in practically all of its other elements as well.
