Jonathan Romney Sight & Sound The film is richly cast, with MacKay’s taut facial geometry marking the anxiety and the terrible shifts of realisation that Nick experiences. Oct 4, 2025 Full Review Mark Hanson Slant Magazine The film plunges us into a world that feels simultaneously naturalistic and otherworldly. Rated: 3/4 Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Sam Bodrojan IndieWire “Rose of Nevada” feels like a folk tale. It is the kind of movie that I would half-expect to have an entirely different ending each time I see it. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez The Movie Buff Jenkin provides us with a time-travel story that is not focused on the sci-fi narrative, but more on the aspect of time and how it affects a society, both psychologically and culturally. Rated: B+ Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Kaveh Jalinous Under the Radar Paired with its ideas on economic stability—perhaps they assume these roles to save their town—Rose of Nevada becomes a thoughtful experience that leaves you with something real and tangible, even if it requires sharp attention to fully appreciate. Rated: 6.5/10 Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Marshall Shaffer The Playlist "Making meaning out of Nick’s fantastic voyage toward the present requires [Mark Jenkin] to clear up some of the movie’s mysteries rather than letting them continue to float nebulously." Rated: B- Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
