Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Neither sharp enough to qualify as satire nor emotional enough to be a standard drama, "The Show" exists in film purgatory. Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter Early promise quickly evaporates once the film sheds its smirk and turns increasingly sanctimonious. Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Kahron Spearman Austin Chronicle Placing the obvious philosophical hypocrisies aside, the film's ultimate issues lie in motivations, the film's and each of the characters. Mar 13, 2017 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A bizarre melodrama featuring normally skilled actors struggling to turn the concept into anything noteworthy. Rated: 2/5 May 12, 2023 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review Settles for the same lessons we've heard before. Rated: C Aug 28, 2021 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat There are those movies you watch only because of how bad it is. The Show could be one of those movies.

Edward R A great multi-angle look at just what we will do for money and/or for our family and how little empathy most people have for others. Quite the introspective film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Dan R 2017's 'This Is Your Death' is a film which wants to encourage some deep and meaningful conversations but fails dramatically. SYNOPSIS: 'An unsettling look at reality T.V. where a disturbing hit game show has its contestants ending their lives for the public's enjoyment.' With a strong cast, an interesting and original premise, and Giancarlo Esposito taking on director and acting duties, this film should've been something special, if at worst an interesting watch. Unfortunately, it just falls down on the weight of expectation it puts on itself and on the subject matter. Whether it's Esposito's naivety and inexperience as a director which causes this to fail is questionable. Maybe it's just a bad film. The worst thing for me is that it looks so shoddy, like a TV movie. It has TV movie plastered all over it when it shouldn't have. It needed greater investment. 'This Is Your Death' is an interesting concept, but tonally it's totally mishandled and fails to deliver. A misstep by those involved. 4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/10/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Seemed like an idea for a movie that could have worked but something was 'off'', it felt rushed, and the execution wasn't good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Pheasant W If you want to feel sick, but also like "fuxk. That's reality". This is the movie for you. I was absolutely disgusted. The character Mason Washington was the only redeemable character. Maybe the producer chick. Maybe. And his family were a bunch of ungrateful assholes. The wife held him over the coals and threatened to leave him and take the kids cuz he was struggling to keep a roof over his head. He was demeaned, disrespected and insulted, even by his own family. Wow. Made me sick. And it also made me sick the unfair, unjust system that put him in that position. Josh Duhamel was pure evil. Total bullshiz artist. Total hypocrite. This movie was creepy as well, because all I can think is— THIS WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY. I think the critics and audience hated this one because it made them think that this could actually happen in our sick society. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/08/23 Full Review Teeba C A bad Lifetime movie. How did this get made? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Green C Only because of Giancarlo Esposito do I give it any stars. This story is so morbid and absurd it should be outlawed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
