Steve Pond TheWrap It’s also hard to feel much for the movie, which doesn’t just strain the bounds of credibility but obliterates them. Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Variety So idiosyncratic that it might’ve been even better if it had dropped its genre trappings entirely. But removing that dystopian future could deprive Fortuné of such a convincing showcase for him as a clearly gifted visual stylist. Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Unfortunately, this thoughtful sci-fi thriller becomes predictable and convoluted long before the couple’s seven-day evaluation is complete... The picture has been worked out on a visual level, but the script never explores those deeper themes. Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine THE ASSESSMENT has enough interesting ideas to bolster the excellent central performances & basic premise. It never quite rises to meet its loftier concerns, but intelligent writing & captivating performances deliver something well above a passing grade. Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast By the time the film reveals its meaning about control over women’s bodies in the final minutes its too little too late in a sci-fi parable (with good performances by Olsen & Vikander) about turning prospective couples into Wal-mart parents. Rated: 2/4 Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa [T]his is Fortuné’s twisted little psychosexual thriller made possible in large part by the multi-personalitied Vikander, who will have fans of emotional sadomasochism on screen kicking up their feet and giggling long after the movie ends.
