Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It’s consistently funny, smart, and even sweet, a nice reflection of what makes Johnson a special filmmaker. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Hilarious as the movie can be, there’s an even more amusing meta level on which we laugh at how insane it is that it exists at all, marveling how they pulled it off. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Christian Zilko IndieWire “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie” delivers everything a fan of the show could want, expanding the level of spectacle while keeping the core of the ongoing project intact. Rated: B+ Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Quintessential Canadiana — made by Canadians, for Canadians. Rated: 8/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Pat Mullen POV Magazine The film straddles the imperceptible line between artistry and lunacy to deliver a bonkers tale of enduring friendship, rooted firmly in the lived experience of Torontonians in the (mostly) present moment. Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate A fourth-wall breaking, ludicrously plotted, and comically anarchic blast, Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is a loving ode to the city that birthed it and a testament to the oddballs trying to make a go of questionable career choices. Rated: 9/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
