Leave your thoughts about Don't Let Go.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubIt’s a good sign for the intelligence of your science fiction movie, when it’s easy to imagine the story working as a stage play with just two actors. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt’s a fascinating ticking clock, and it works because Oyelowo leads the way as the brokenhearted survivor. |
| Screen InternationalAnthony KaufmanEstes handily pumps up the tension, and keeps the story moving along at a brisk pace. There may be nothing particularly memorable about the filmmaking on display, but Relive is focused mostly on its actors. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeEstes finds a way to twist things up, organically adding a Groundhog Day element. Time's still moving forward toward Ashley's death, but the detective work gets more interesting. |
| The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldThe film’s better than you’d expect from a late-summer offering, mostly due to a strong cast led by the great Oyelowo. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreBut it’s as much fun as a dumb time-travel murder mystery/cop thriller has any right to be. Just don’t let it keep you up at night sorting through it all, again, the way the folks who take notes (critics) have to. It’ll spoil it. |
| TheWrapYolanda MachadoDespite its trappings, Relive is a family drama with a slight supernatural twist, and had Estes explored that, perhaps the film would feel more whole. Instead, Relive winds up being a thriller without any actual thrills. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisYou get lost in its thickets because Estes hasn’t wholly figured out how to make toying with time work. But he has a fine cast and a good sense of place, including a feel for the spookiness of emptied-out spaces, and he makes his conspicuously low budget work for the near-claustrophobic intimacy. |
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelThe plot is ingeniously engineered, but the narrative is like a low-res image. It gets the idea across, but without the kind of details that make it memorable. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaIt’s definitely a well-crafted genre offering. The writing could be better, with more of an emphasis on the relationships than on the plot mechanisms, but the ending is cool. The cast is also very good, but again, if the script were just a tad bit better, the film would get a better rating from me. |
