It's undeniably rough around the edges but I didn't really mind. The performances and handling of the subject matter were excellent.

Lost Transmissions is a mishmash, a serious subject matter but no script to accompany it. You'll cringe at the story and chemistry. Pegg and Temple come out of this unscathed, giving their all. It doesn't transmit.

The movie started strong, with beautiful colour and camera work, however, as the story went on, it started to lose its way. The ending felt unfinished and lost its chance to leave a lesson or strong impression. The acting was phenomenal. I cannot think of a way for the actors to approach their characters mental illness better it's just a shame the story didn't do the same justice. Lots of potential just could have used a bit longer to create a stronger ending.

Empire Magazine

Lost Transmissions is a clear-eyed view of schizophrenia, aided by a powerful Simon Pegg performance yet hamstrung by some woolly filmmaking and a whiff of pretension.

Rated: 3/5

It's too much. It's cringeworthy. It's profoundly hammy. But a smarter film could have hidden it better.

Rated: 2/5

New York Times

Temple and Pegg, when their characters aren't falling apart (and even sometimes when they are), convey intelligence and mutual regard with refreshing straightforwardness.

The kind of gritty, naturalistic type of film that seldom gets made anymore.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Culture Mix

[Juno] Temple and [Simon] Pegg are very talented in other movies, but watching them trying to create chemistry together that doesn't exist in Lost Transmissions is almost painful to watch.

Ella Kemp

NME (New Musical Express)

The lack of attention to detail comes from a script which is more interested in its political message than in believable world-building.
