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.

This movie loses it in the third act... They start explaining. Never explain!

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.

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.

Him is a procession of over art-directed sequences in search of a story.

The film often feels like a dream with the imagery teetering between terrifying and absurd. Although Him took bold swings that led to fumbles, I still found plenty to appreciate.

31/100

The Monkey Paw’s curse is starting to show in this hodgepodge of ideas caked in religious pretext, and these characters never made it past the defensive line. One of the worst screenplays of the year.

The visuals were off the chain but I felt there was a little bit left on the table as far as the ending goes.
