Leave your thoughts about BlackBerry.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzBlackBerry is funny, fast and nerve-rattling. And it is always – always – intensely entertaining. |
| ColliderMarco Vito OddoWith BlackBerry, Johnson manages to craft a thrilling and moving story about friendship, pride, and the brutality of the free market. |
| The PlaylistRafaela Sales RossIt is a loving — and highly entertaining — ode to the outcasts who dream of nothing more than a life filled with fixing whirring gadgets and afternoons spent in “Star Trek” matinees. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThanks to the clever, docudrama style direction by Matt Johnson, a crackling good screenplay by Johnson and Matthew Miller and searingly good performances from the ensemble cast, the scenes where BlackBerry crashes and burns are just as enthralling as the triumphant moments when an unlikely team of ragtag techno geeks based in Waterloo, Ontario, briefly revolutionized the mobile device world. |
| Original-CinChris KnightIt’s clever and backed up by enough tech-speak to give viewers a sense of the nuts and bolts of things without wandering into the weeds. |
| Screen DailyLee MarshallJohnson and co-writer Matthew Miller turn the story of RIM’s brisk rise and meteoric fall into a kind of breathless tech fever dream, a relentless but addictive downbeat human comedy about the struggle to stay on top in a fast-moving industry. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreYes, this is a lightly-fictionalized account of the birth of one of the seminal technologies of our time, fuzzied up just enough to keep the lawyers at bay. But if it’s not how it literally went down, it certainly makes for a colorful yarn to pass around the campfire on those cold nights in the Great White North. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsBlackBerry doesn’t sermonize or push the comedy or falsify the dramatic dynamics of wildly contrasting personalities. It’s a small but quite beautiful achievement, which you could also say about the smartphone that could, and did. For a while. |
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithBlackBerry is a biography of a once-great business that is fascinating enough on its own terms without being reshaped to fit a narrative formula. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA wonky workplace comedy that slowly shades into tragedy. |
