Noel Murray Los Angeles Times It takes a strange and fascinating meme, and makes it personal. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Unfortunately, while the "Mandela Effect" is a fascinating phenomenon, The Mandela Effect proves less than successful in its exploitation of it. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Josh Goller Spectrum Culture The Mandela Effect spends far too much time on dry exposition, leaving little room for character development or a compelling narrative. Rated: 2.25/5 Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rachel B Very entertaining and thoughtful. Great ending Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Late P very short movie about the mandela effect, it did some cool things at the beginning but the runtime is short and it does not delve deeper into characters, plot, or much of anything, just stays surface leaving more questions than it answers. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Pat E I agree with ACE V. This is a much better movie than most of the reviewers indicate. I also am sure that the Berenstein Bear books spelled it “ein” not “ain”. Several other examples were also ones I would swear to, which takes a concept that is unnerving and gives it veracity! It would have scared the hell out of my late husband. It eventually takes you where you feel better, but not without causing some dizziness on the way! I am recommending it to my adult children who love horror movies. I hope they watch it with an open mind! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Gregory M Maybe I am developing ADHD in my advancing years. This movie is supposed to be about the Mandela Effect. I don't know what it is about. It is all over the place with no coherent structure and has vaguely a reference to the Mandela Effect early on and then it becomes incoherent with too much supposed angst and worry. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Justin H It wasn't a terrible movie but it was all over the place with story. Jumping here and there with scenarios and trying to explain what's going on but it's hard to understand some moments. I'd recommend seeing this movie at least once but I'll never watch it again basically. I give it a 5/10 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Gary B This movie, which is about alternate realities intruding on people's lives in the form of differing memories concerning things and events in the past, is named after the Mandela Effect, which some people claim is a real phenomen about shared alternate memories. It's weird, but I remember the Mandela Effect as being something different... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
