Movie Reviews

RogerEbert.com - 10/10 by Odie HendersonBeyond the Lights makes unapologetically damning statements about the music industry’s treatment of women, yet it never feels preachy. It strikes a risky, though successful balancing act between being immensely entertaining as a musical feature and making dramatic, important statements about depression, self-worth and female empowerment.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversThere's enough plot here to sink a soap opera, but the actors prevail. Parker is a no-bull charmer. Driver leaves bite marks on her juicy role. And Mbatha-Raw, so good this year in "Belle", is dynamite.
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Robert DenersteinGugu Mbatha-Raw finds a star vehicle, but the film's unfocused ambitions are at odds
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Martin TsaiMbatha-Raw looks, sounds and moves like an A-lister. If "Belle" put the actress on Hollywood's radar, Beyond the Lights heralds her superstardom.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Adam Graham"Beyond the Lights" doesn't have much insight into the world of modern celebrity, but as a romance, its actors make it sing.
Flick Filosopher - 9/10 by MaryAnn JohansonSmart and passionate, this is one of the ultimate Hollywood fantasies: an adult romance performed by gorgeous actors with palpable onscreen chemistry.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 9/10 by Bilge EbiriBeyond the Lights is a deft, gorgeous movie. For all its honesty, it’s never slow, and for all its criticism of the music industry, it’s never finger-wagging.
The Film Stage - 8/10 by Nathan BartlebaughA carefully calculated romantic drama that spins out the usual manifestos about the music industry devouring pretty young singers yearning for acceptance.
RedEye - 8/10 by Matt PaisAnother commanding performance from Mbatha-Raw, who doesn't need words to explain how the outer emptiness of Noni's persona has found its way inside.
Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenPowerful romantic drama depicts the downside of celebrity.
