What to Know

Critics Consensus

Regression boasts a pair of eminently likable leads -- neither of whom are able to dislodge the movie from the mire of psychological thriller mediocrity.

Nick Schager Paste Magazine Amenbar's film can barely lay out its faith-vs.-science-vs.-reason conflicts, much less employ them for critical purposes. Rated: 2.5/10 Feb 11, 2016 Full Review C. Molly Smith Entertainment Weekly Hawke anchors the film as a cop who descends deeper and deeper into the monstrous, violent world he's uncovered. Rated: B- Feb 10, 2016 Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture A disposable genre movie that cannot scare, convince, or enlighten. Feb 6, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Regression doesn’t progress in any compelling fashion and it’s pretty forgettable. In fact, the experience in a word was, cheap. Rated: C- Aug 2, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a pervasively inept and thoroughly endless piece of work... Rated: 0/4 Apr 14, 2022 Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 'Regression' is a bad movie that provides nothing more than an annoying routine... with actors who never manage to transmit anything to us.

mark g I thought this was a pretty decent film and more than a lot creepy. The dark and cold surroundings help to paint a macabre movie. Hawke is very invested here. I think people are being crazy harsh here, this is a fairly intelligent psychological drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Gwyneth E I liked the concept but it was very confusing and written poorly. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Nomaan A Wasn't great, wasn't bad. Storyline was interesting and psychological thriller. Worth a shot at watching Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible movie, horribly written and exceptionally ill executed. The two leads are characters you wanna punch in the face Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review steve d The whole thing just comes off as silly. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Thriller cupo che probabilmente ha il difetto di non accostarsi abbastanza alla realtà dopo invece essere partito con didascalie ed accenni storici che facevano pensare a qualcosa di più reale. La trama è quella di un giallo thriller ben elaborato, con diversi elementi e piuttosto originale. Purtroppo però invece che concentrarsi maggiormente sulla così detta "regressione" si cade in semplici e troppo numerose allucinazioni, fantasiose ed ingombranti. Si poteva osare maggiormente. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
