A futuristic love story set in a world where emotions have been eradicated.
Leave your thoughts about Equals.
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattDirector Drake Doremus carefully constructs an us-against-the-world romance for Silas and Nia (an idea he pulled off beautifully in the underrated 2011 drama "Like Crazy," starring Felicity Jones and the late Anton Yelchin) and provides them with a rogue band of fellow thought rebels, including Guy Pearce and Jacki Weaver. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerEquals brings Stewart’s charisma back to a genre framework — though its form of low-key science fiction is no longer the kind of genre material that actually gets wide exposure. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenOverly simplistic sci-fi evoking better works like "Gattaca," "1984," and "Code 46." |
| Washington Free BeaconSonny Bunch[Kirsten Stewart's] one of the most interesting actresses working today, and is worth seeking out, even on VOD. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfDoremus can't shake his habits, once again returning to burning passions photographed in extreme, jittery close-up while a feeble sense of tragedy brews in the background. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedAll told, Equals is a feast for the eye that leaves you with a troubling contemplation of the future. |
| ColliderAdam ChitwoodThrough Stewart and Hoult's powerful performances and Doremus' delicate direction, Equals speaks to human relationships in a way that's intimately familiar, romantic, and, yes, emotionally gut-punching. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayIncredible chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult in this uncommonly affecting sci-fi drama. A throwback to cerebral genre work like THX-1138. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDoremus treats the threadbare story with a turgid solemnity that does neither the script's pedestrian ideas nor its attractive stars any favors. |
| Consequence of SoundNico LangEquals is composed of small, sensual moments which build to a climax that feels both gut-wrenching and potently universal, like an old torch song to which you already know all the words. |
