Set in a future world devastated by climate change, The Assessment follows a couple who must pass a test before being allowed to have a child.

It’s also hard to feel much for the movie, which doesn’t just strain the bounds of credibility but obliterates them.

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.

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.

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

[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.

SciFiNow

Disappointingly, the film fights shy of digging deeply enough into their psychology to make it the satisfying experience it deserves be. The performances, however, help make up for its shortcomings, with Olsen leading the way.

Rated: 3/5
