| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesI'm not sure whether Beatriz at Dinner is, as advertised, "the first great film of the Trump era" (Get Out might beg to differ), but that's a reductive tag anyway. Its concerns go deeper. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniIt's nice that it resists easy creative choices, until it ultimately resists *any* creative choices. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonIt's quite something to watch, and watch it you should. Be warned, though, that Beatriz at Dinner is a bit of a bummer. But there's still something cathartic about it. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderIt's fun watching Hayek and Lithgow work magic with their paper-thin characters, repeatedly butting heads in an escalating challenge to retain the upper hand in a caste war that grows increasingly bloody. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonDeftly balances subtle humor with sharp observations about class, wealth and power. |
| Pittsburgh Post-GazetteBarry ParisIt's billed as a comedy, but I'm not sure it is - despite John Lithgow's brilliantly entertaining performance as Strutt. |
| Letras LibresFernanda SolórzanoWhat could have been a good black comedy ends up failing, with formulaic and didactic representations of immigrants as beings worth of holiness, stripped of complexity. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseIt's no great leap to see Strutt as Trumpian, but Beatriz at Dinner has bigger fish to fry than any one figure...make[s] our nation's political intractability the stuff of comedy and...dramatizes the spiritual exhaustion of our time. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerHayek gives one of her better performances, though – she makes it clear that Beatriz may be righteous, but she’s also more than a bit unhinged – and Lithgow is so good at playing CEO oiliness that you have to smile. He’s the man you love to hate. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillBeatriz at Dinner is a movie that deals with topics of a political nature without feeling an overt polemic, and that's simply because the characters are well-defined and the laughs, though sparse, are big. |
