Leave your thoughts about Kalamity.
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Kalamity" is the kind of indie suspense thriller that gives indies a bad name. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasA strange, stilted, misbegotten drama, undone by variable performances, awkwardly inserted flashback and fantasy sequences, and a gloppy overlay of voiceover narration. |
| NPRJeannette CatsoulisAn overwrought, undercooked tale of crazy love and crazier revenge. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenFor all its seriousness, Kalamity lacks a steady narrative drive; its speeches are too long, and its themes become repetitive. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThis hollow downer about deep wells of male anger, wallowing regret and mental disintegration is ultimately a thematic cop-out. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA lackadaisical albeit stylishly directed thriller deficient in suspense, imagination and genuine poignancy. |
| Miss FlickChickMaitland McDonaghA talented cast can't save this low-budget psychodrama about male malaise from its meandering screenplay. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsMore skillfully directed than written, "Kalamity'' is competent yet never startling, either artistically or viscerally. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonAn object lesson in overconfidence and underdevelopment, almost as unbalanced as its central psychotic. |
| Time OutEric HynesInane dialogue, extraneous scenes and wooden performances make for an experience that's less edge-of-your-seat than one very long, amateur hour and a half. |
