Critics Consensus

Joe Keery's magnetic screen presence can't disguise Spree's shallow critique of social media culture -- although that lack of depth may be precisely the point.

This is all very clever and it completely works, but it does require a certain amount of effort.

Spree is a pointed indictment of social media obsession, but it is often as shallow as the influencers it criticizes. Still, Joe Keery makes this a film worth watching.

Spree walks a fine line, but is able to find the balance, and stand out as a well crafted and inspired effort.

Maybe it's not a five-star ride, but Spree earns its tip.

Just stumbled across this film on Shudder on my way to watch something else... and I couldn't stop watching. The solid performances across the board - even the B characters - are startlingly good. The director deserves a lot of credit here - this was NOT an easy film to pull off. Every time it was about to lose me it re-legitimized itself with something unexpected or unexpectedly 'higher budget than you thought they had'. If a flick is hard to stop watching - it's probably a good one. Enjoyed it, and I'm surprised!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Joe Keery delivered a phenomenal performance in Spree, perfectly epitomising the classic cinematic character arc that descends, very quickly, into psychopathy. Spree does its job: it highlights the dangers of social media and the sick nature of many of those who use it, as well as striking pure fear into the minds of anyone who is even considering catching an Uber in the next ten years. It falls short of being an all-time blockbuster, but the minimalistic feeling created by POV and close-up cameras delivers a thrilling watch. Definitely worth going on the ride (maybe just not in Kurt's car).

Very interesting concept. The eccentric protagonist displaying all the subtle nuances needed to provoke us viewers into rooting for the underdog. The escalation towards the films climax kept me thoroughly engrossed with high expectations for the final act. Only to utterly unravel into failure. The director showed such mediocrisy when providing us the conclusion that I completely forgot what captivated me in the first place.
