Leave your thoughts about Jonathan.
| SciFiNowKatherine McLaughlinIt's a thinker that's both comforting and confronting. |
| The VergeTasha RobinsonIn the end, it doesn’t feel like Jonathan fully commits to its own premise. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe movie is not interested in wrapping things up via a “smash the mirror” epiphany. It’s to Oliver’s credit that he’s taken a more tough-minded than easily cathartic approach. And Ansel Elgort’s wonderful performance does appropriate honor to the ambiguity the movie is trucking in. |
| The PlaylistWarren CantrellElgort does great work juggling what is essentially a dual performance, while Oliver, making his feature directorial debut, here, keeps things clipping along at a taut, engaging pace. Small in scope, yet successful in just about every aspect of its unspooling, Jonathan stands tall. |
| Battleship PretensionDavid BaxIt's so ruthlessly competent in its construction and execution that an inexperienced viewer may initially mistake its aptitude for quality. But you don't need to have seen all that many movies to soon grasp how inexcusably thin and dumb it is. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe debut feature succeeds thanks to a credibly bifurcated performance by star Ansel Elgort. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyTaken on its own confidently crafted terms, Jonathan is an intelligent, absorbing tale that provides an impressive showcase for “Baby Driver” star Ansel Elgort. |
| Punch Drunk CriticsTravis HopsonPart sci-fi, part body horror, part psychological thriller, Bill Oliver's "Jonathan" is a compelling twist on the old Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde formula. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe movie, itself somewhat torn in sensibility, permits itself an easy out. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenWhile Elgort, whose big breakout role was in last year’s “Baby Driver,” does a decent job of delineating the two characters and Patricia Clarkson reliably comes through as their sympathetic doctor, the clinically distancing production never forms a meaningful bond with its audience. |
