Leave your thoughts about Buffaloed.
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSimultaneously rowdy and slick, Buffaloed is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch’s moxie and pell-mell performance. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyWith a screenplay by Brian Sacca, who grew up in the Buffalo area, Buffaloed is a showcase for the mega-talented Deutch, who tosses herself into the role like a maniacal fidget-spinner, all flash and charm. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreDeutch is is just-short-of-dazzling as the persuasive opportunist who convinces one and all that “debt is JAIL,” and what they’re selling to debtors is the chance to “break these people OUT.” |
| Film ThreatAlan NgWhile Buffaloed is light on laughs, it’s Deutch as Peg that is the real joy to watch. She creates a character that is unique, energetic, and thoughtfully developed. |
| SlashfilmHoai-Tran BuiWith director Tanya Wexler lending the crime dramedy a zippy, irreverent flair, Buffaloed becomes the vehicle for which Deutch can finally show off her chops. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiThanks largely to the feisty Deutch, Buffaloed is a fun time, even if it’s about everybody’s least-favorite kind of phone call. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersThis is a fast, fun watch that succeeds largely on the charms of its star and the able hands of its director. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandBuffaloed wants to package searing insights into the crooked world of debt collecting into a cutesy comedy, leaning hard on Deutch’s skills and far less on a script that’s unwilling to get nasty with its subject matter. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThe filmmakers allow their characters to learn the usual humanist lessons, in the process eliding the ramifications of their scenario. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckHer (Zoey Deutch) wildly entertaining performance proves the standout element of the picture, which never quite reaches the comic heights for which it's aiming. |
