Critics Consensus

If it never quite lives up to its potential, Spin Me Round remains a dizzily diverting comedy elevated by Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza's performances.

It’s really well done and just kind of odd but in a fun way.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

Everything is thrown into the grinder of a ridiculous final act that shreds any subtextual nuance about workplace power dynamics, sexual antics, and blind romance.

Rated: 1.5/5

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

Baena and Brie keep the tone ambiguous, which is fine in theory and eventually unsatisfying in practice, as “Spin Me Round” keeps hinting at various moods (romance, comedy, suspense) without ever settling on one.

Rated: 2/4

Can’t really figure out what it knows, what it doesn’t know, or how to refine the journey necessary to feel like you’ve gone anywhere.

Rated: C

Marshall Shaffer

Decider

Familiarity and danger rest side-by-side. The resulting movie is something off-kilter and oddly entertaining as it toggles almost imperceptibly between the all too real and the unreal.

Eric Marchen

Rogers TV

Not even Nivola’s unsettling charm can drum up intrigue into what’s underneath the surface of high society’s most hedonistic tendencies. It’s like a recipe that’s way more fun to make than it is to eat, in cooking terms.

Rated: C+

One of the best films Ive seen all year, the comedy was smart and actually funny the strengths of the cast were used to its advantage, and the plot was not predictable. Alison Brie and Jeff Baena are a great team of actor/director and co-writers. Seeing this in theaters with a full house instead of on a streaming site only enhanced its viewing. Highly recommend and would see again!

What a hot mess. Only one funny scene. And one hot makeout scene. Just felt creeped out, confused, and uneasy most of the movie. Such a waste of a good cast who performed well in spite of this garbage film. WHY WAS THIS MOVIE EVER MADE???

I was pretty much all the way through the movie and still couldn't quite figure out what kind of movie this was supposed rio be. If you like White Lotus, you might like this.

Horrendous movie, and I am a huge fan of Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza. I have no idea what this movie was trying to be. Not funny enough to be considered a comedy, not romantic, not serious enough to be a drama. So what is it? Just a mess. It seemed like it must have been written by a whole group of people, all pulling in different directions.

Overall a memorable film with some surreal moments. Maybe it's a good drinking or smoking movie; I enjoyed the bizarre writing and it reminded me of 1960s psychological thrillers in its seemingly haphazardness. At one point I remember thinking... am I drunk or are they all drunk? I loved the playfulness and seriousness.

No plot that is coherent in this movie. A hard pass.
