Leave your thoughts about Big Sky.
| VarietyDennis HarveyEvan M. Wiener’s screenplay throws in too many disparate elements without developing any of them very effectively, while Grau’s direction is slick but unable to provide the tension or consistency needed. |
| Village VoiceMeave GallagherJorge Michel Grau's Big Sky masquerades as a psychological thriller, but underneath it's a meditation on the worthlessness of men. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe mental issues plaguing Hazel (Bella Thorne) aren't the only disabilities on offer in a film that sometimes heaps a little too much onto the fire, but Grau and his cast are sincere in their attempt to capture her struggle with empathy and dignity. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThis thing is one rewrite away from being something we’d remember. |
| FILMINK (Australia)John NoonanSadly, there's so much going on in Big Sky that the spotlight is taken away from Hazel and she becomes a bit part in her own story. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe film rests on the attractive but opaque Ms. Thorne, who is not ready for such weight. Commendably, she stretches her acting muscles, but Hazel’s internal struggle remains elusive. Viewers need more to connect with. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenDirector Grau seems to be making up the film as he goes along — never a good idea when tackling the sort of genre piece that requires building tension and some semblance of dread to succeed. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaJorge Michel Grau's ambitions are stalled by a screenplay that seems to have never made it past a first draft. |
| User ReviewPaula Mhas a great plot and a great start to the movie so you buckle in and then wait and wait and wait...nothing more interesting happens |
