Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Its subtle mysteries will likely stay with you well after it ends. Feb 19, 2020 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times An adventurous comic thumping worth the working over of your sensibilities. Aug 29, 2019 Full Review Karen Han Polygon The deeper one delves into The Plagiarists, the more rewarding the film becomes. Jul 1, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson San Francisco Examiner Aims high in prompting viewers to think about art, perception and privilege, and it's giddily intriguing. Rated: 3.5/4 May 8, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It's a clever little puzzle, the style one of its moving parts; the questions its poses, like everything else, are not what they first seem to be. Rated: 4/5 May 5, 2020 Full Review Andrew Stover Film Inquiry The Plagiarists is peculiar, fairly self-reflexive, and laced with grueling yet equally as rewarding ambiguity that comes from the artists' seat.
