Critics Consensus

While it may feel muddled at times, The Platform is an inventive and captivating dystopian thriller.

3/5

It's anything but a balanced diet, but there's much to chew on regardless.

B+

If you can stomach it, "The Platform" is a funny and fierce farce with its eyes on race, class and the ways people can rise up for the betterment of all by working together.

4/5

Gaztelu-Urrutia is making accusatory points about society, but he's not finger-wagging. The Platform delivers its moral message with the mechanics of a lean thriller.

The Platform is not without hope, but it is chock-full of extreme violence, imagery, and ideas that make this a real stomach turner.

If you're a fan of single setting movies like Cube, or Exam, then you definitely should seek this out.

A-

The Platform leaves you craving more. A word of a warning: it’s probably best to go into this film on an empty stomach.

La película pierde el interés en antes de 10 minutos, una idea similar a cube pero con muchas más connotaciónes políticas y demasiada moralina, realmente aburrida y obvia.
