Critics Consensus

A clever premise gets plenty of comic blood and violence, but its hampered by some questionable storytelling techniques from director Quentin Dupieux.

Your enjoyment of French filmmaker Quentin's Dupieux's movie depends in large part on your capacity to enjoy the absurd. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Rated: 3.5/5

Holy Luis Bunuel. Not nearly as clever as it thinks it is, "Rubber," a movie about movies from French musician/writer/director Quentin Dupieux, would have worked much better as a short.

Rated: D

[This] audacious and sometimes inspired throwaway is like a "Saturday Night Live" skit sprung from the mind of David Cronenberg or David Lynch.

Rated: 2.5/4

Deep Focus Review

If the answer to Hollywood’s lacking creativity is Rubber, then I’d gladly watch a few more formulaic genre movies in its place.

The fact that the movie lacks any storyline at all kind of downfalls the whole thing.

Rated: 3/10

Sometimes, life has no reason... and then the movie about a malevolent telekinetic tire gets into full swing. Fun times!

There is scarecly anything in the world so inane and pretentious as this home video. Calling it a movie is a disservice to the industry.

Has a "school film project that's attempting to convey a specific message" vibe about it without actually conveying anything. Although it is truly a bizarre movie and a good laugh to watch with friends.

One of the greatest productions ever made. I routed for Robert from day 1, and I could relate to him on a paternal level... He's like a son to me.
