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

Cate Young

Thirty, Flirty + Film

Him gestures at the vision Tipping wanted to realize and express, but he hasn't quite figured out the kinks. Problems aside, it's a fictive world I'd love to revisit once he's managed to do precisely that.

James Mottram

Radio Times

Nevertheless, this trippy tale fumbles the ball in its pursuit of overcooked themes of sacrifice and resilience - even a wild turn from Uncut Gems's Julia Fox as Isaiah's bleach-blonde spouse can't save it.

Rated: 3/5

SciFiNow

A stunning, beautiful misfire that deserves kudos for its audacity and bravery in trying to break the mould, but one that’s so wrapped in the sense of being different that it forgets how to do the basics.

Out of the box, creative. Not sure of budget but seems like they did a lot with very little.
