Tim Grierson Screen International Gavras builds suspense over whether Joan’s assertion will be proven true but, eventually, the screenplay succumbs to glib generalities about its satirical targets. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian Even before we’re looking into a volcano, Sacrifice has fallen over the edge. Rated: 2/5 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Richard Lawson The Hollywood Reporter Sacrifice urges its audience to really consider the weight of its title... It doesn’t persuasively make a case, though. Instead, it is another supposedly radical act that woefully fails to inspire action. Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Giovanni Lago Next Best Picture “Sacrifice” first and foremost falls apart due to its screenplay, where Gavras and co-writer Will Arbery offer nothing substantial to overcome the onslaught of underwritten characters and uneven humor. Rated: 4/10 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Because that’s all any of us are. Stories. Our pasts dictate our present, but we are ultimately the ones preserving and/or fabricating the former so that the latter proves as comfortable and successful as possible. Rated: 8/10 Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Brandon Lewis Geek Vibes Nation While not without flaws, Evans and Gavras’s film is one of the year’s most effective unions of actor and auteur.
