Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Southern’s film has a fun tone that intentionally plays with the freedom of filmmaking, using animation, quick cuts, questionable POV, and more to keep the momentum going. Mar 17, 2023 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? It’s a quirky, witty script that moves at breakneck speed whenever anyone but Brea is talking so that each character gets their moment of cool, casual badassery to sell the idea that they are heroic regardless of intent or fate. Nov 17, 2023 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage Only the Good Survive contains all the twists and turns of a rambling thriller narrative that lands somewhere between Scott Pilgrim and The Usual Suspects. Rated: B- Mar 25, 2023 Full Review Luke Gorham In Review Online And so, a film that initially appears to suggest something like the Nee brothers’ Band of Robbers proves instead to be angling for Edgar Wright lite, flailing wildly in the attempt. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Rendy Jones Rendy Reviews Dutch Southern’s colorful genre-bending heist thriller bursts with wit, color, gore, and a welcoming rebellious spirit that makes you want to put on your favorite punk album. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Andy Crump Inverse Southern playfully teases out Only the Good Survive’s reveals with the kind of kinetic snap-bang editing and camera movements typically associated with Edgar Wright movies.
