Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's light at first -- then it gets darkly funny, and then it gets just dark. Sep 14, 2019 Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture It's very entertaining in a middlebrow Broadway comedy kind of way. Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com After a few reveals, Perfect Strangers settles into a rhythm, and the suspense fades into expectation. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Fausto Ponce Proceso It's a comedy that intends to be funny, and whose lack of spontaneity creates an antipathy feeling towards the story and the characters. [Full Review in Spanish] May 28, 2019 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Thematically, its tagline statement is the lightning bolt of tension that charges this entire film. Rated: 3/5 Feb 5, 2019 Full Review Frank Wilkins Reel Reviews a wild and entertaining ride into the darker side of technology and the ominous ways in which we are letting our cell phones not only control us, but to also define us. Rated: 4/5 Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

dave d This is a Mexican adaptation of the 2016 Italian film and it's fine. For being confined, the gimmick mostly works. It is odd only one call or text happens at a time, but if you can get over that it's funny, horrifying and probably more accurate than we'd ever care to admit. Final Score: 6.6/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Una buena película que nos presenta una buena trama y unas excelentes interpretaciones. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I have watched all the other versions of this movie and honestly this version was the only one I actually liked Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy entretenida y algo inesperada Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Where can i get this movie in USA? Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the photography and the movements of the camera. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
