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

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...

Narrow audience appeal to living in the matrix + computer and quantum mechanics geeks.

The movie had an interesting premise but went in the wrong direction before eventually losing the viewers interest.

I never review films but felt compelled to because others had given it a low rating. . This movie took me by surprise. You can tell in parts it's low budget but that doesn't mean not well made. I'm not sure if it was supposed to feel like a horror film but that's what it felt like to me in parts, a few scenes really gave me chills...like what if this is real. I recommend it to anybody who likes sci fi. Looney Toons

I don't understand the terrible 1 star reviews. This was a fascinating concept and a solid, watchable film musing on grief, and collective memory. About a grieving father obsessing on the 'mandela effect,' and whether it can being his daughter back.

It takes a strange and fascinating meme, and makes it personal.

Hollywood Reporter

Unfortunately, while the "Mandela Effect" is a fascinating phenomenon, The Mandela Effect proves less than successful in its exploitation of it.

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

Movie Nation

A fascinating, if heartless, failure, skimming the surface of the conspiracy, not doing justice to the tragedy.

Rated: 2/4
