MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

Unfortunately, despite some really positive aspects, the end of Renner felt like a cheat so egregious that it destroyed a lot of the goodwill that it built up throughout.

Rated: 2.5/5

Daily Record (UK)

Renner is a strange film that takes the topical AI technology and doesn’t do much with it until the latter stages.

For Your Reference Podcast

A timely reflection on the reliance on technology and the insidious harm in replacing human relationships. A little egregious at times, an overall enjoyable watch.

For Your Reference Podcast

Built on an intriguing premise and supported by solid performances, Renner starts strong and stays engaging, even if it loses a bit of momentum before a well-earned final act.

Rated: 3/5

Chris Joyce

Movies and Munchies (YouTube)

While the discomfort and anxiety that’s built by the story is effective and engaging, the writing hampers the suspense, first by showing us an obvious twist way too early and then by creating a conclusion that makes us question the writer’s competence.

Rated: 2.5/5

We Live Entertainment

Fitted with too many twists for its own good, what starts out as a promising little indie with some sci-fi twists ends up becoming a convoluted affair that can hardly get away with its attempts to ramp up the stakes.

Rated: 4/10

Absolutely loved the movie, right up until the last three minutes! Up until the end, the premise was interesting and the acting was superb still gave it a rating of 4.5 stars because it was so good before the end!

Interesting modern retake of an old movie with adopted story for AI world. Was good till last 5 minutes when the ending didn't make sense whatsoever. It felt rushed and not thought through.
