What to Know

Critics Consensus

On the Rocks isn't as potent as its top-shelf ingredients might suggest, but the end result still goes down easy -- and offers high proof of Bill Murray's finely aged charm.

Nell Minow AWFJ.org This is by far the warmest and most engaging film we have seen from Sofia Coppola, whose films have always made great use of spaces and silences. Dec 2, 2021 Full Review Anna Smith Monocle [The characters live] quite a privileged existence, but one that's quite a pleasure to watch. Mar 13, 2021 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times There are worse sins than allowing a director to coast smoothly through her favourite moves. Rated: 4/5 Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Patrick Beatty ABC4 Utah There’s hijinks, there’s fun moments, and it’s Bill Murray. He’s always funny and charming in this. Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab iNews.co.uk Coppola keeps matters light, but the humour here has a sharp and icy edge throughout. Rated: 4/5 Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine Coppola knows how to frame Murray so that his tired, fed up look gets the best lighting, and a low energy car chase is actually quite enjoyable Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Raffaele P Great cast but small stories Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review cheri m I loved Lost in Translation but this was a real disappointment. No humour or drama to speak of, dull script and pacing with little charm despite featuring Bill Murray. Nothing much to say about marriage or relationships. A wasted opportunity. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review E B dull. boring. not awful, just a waste of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Isa B Uninteresting. Predictable. This film suffers from a weak plot. Not even the great Bill Murray could save the day on this one. Having said that, it isn't horrible or anything. It just isn't very good. Sofia Coppola can obviously do much better. I don't recommend. 71/100 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 36 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review James W Lazy... Sofia Coppola's script is really lazy. Most of this film is people saying hello and goodbye because Coppola can't lead an intriguing narrative in its most basic form. Bill Murray's pretty good but when it comes to sincere emotion he can't do it. He's never been able to show true emotion on film and in this one you can't help but think he's mocking the scene. Marlon Wayans is miscast (but Coppola's character for him is 2 dimensional). The best thing about this is Rashida Jones. Not a great film. If her last name wasn't Coppola, this script would be sitting in a file on a computer lucky to be read by more than friend. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
