Peter Howell Toronto Star Funny, disturbing and disarming, The Surfer is the best thing Cage has done in years. Rated: 3/4 May 28, 2024 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Nods to the genre standard, Wake in Fright, but the misleading azure skies add to the bad trip. “Before you can surf you must suffer,” says menacing surfing guru, Scally (Julian McMahon). Cage obliges throughout this entertaining B-picture. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2024 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Cage commits, again, to his latest malcontent on the verge, without troubling himself with an Aussie accent in any way, which is classic Cage. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2024 Full Review Sharai Bohannon Dread Central ‘The Surfer’ features Nicolas Cage’s best performance of the year. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine There is a definite sense of disorientation created and an entertaining horrific experience at the core. But there is still a feeling of an opportunity missed. Rated: 2/5 Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Shannon Connellan Mashable Everything about The Surfer's one-line pitch sounds ridiculous, but the film itself is a haunting set piece about localism, repressed memory, and toxic masculinity, boasting the wild ride we've come to associate with Cage.
