Leave your thoughts about Ray Donovan: The Movie.
| IndieWireTambay ObensonWhile the movie finale may not come in a package that satisfies every diehard fan, it wraps up its compelling portrait of an eccentric working-class family as emotionally chaotic as should be expected; although the specifics still may come as a shock to some. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Brian TallericoIt’s visually ambitious in ways the show was increasingly allowed to be in later seasons, evincing a true cinematic language in terms of craft. But what will really matter to fans is the show has been allowed to end on its own terms. It’s the final job Ray deserves. |
| Paste MagazineAllison KeeneThere are some nice references and callbacks, but where the movie truly succeeds is in getting to the emotional core of the series that—like Ray’s memories of the past—reveals its most important and formative truths. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt was probably the right time to say goodbye to “Ray Donovan,” as the series had begun spinning its wheels in recent seasons, after the action moved from California to the East Coast, but with this movie, Ray gets the send-off he deserves. |
| ABC NewsPeter TraversThis two-hour film wrap-up of the unjustly cancelled crime series may feel patchy and uneven, but it still gives Liev Schreiber’s iconic Ray—a hardcase-for-hire who can fix anything but the nightmare of his past— the send-off he and we deserve. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonThere are a few characters and storylines that aren’t quite resolved, but the essentials—notably, what launched Mickey into a life of crime—are wrapped up in a way that should mollify a viewership left hanging when the show was so abruptly assassinated. |
| CNNBrian LowryAlthough it's nice to see the show's creative team afforded one final swing, it's too bad they don't knock it out of the park. |
| The A.V. ClubKyle FowleThis is perfunctory storytelling, a rather artless and dull 100 minutes that does nothing but check off a few predictable narrative boxes. |
| User ReviewdigoldyAn underrated series and an underrated conclusion by critics. It ties up all loose ends with excellent acting and writing. If this series returned for ten more years I'd watch every episode. |
| User ReviewGordonnrLove the movie. Loved the show. I hate to see it end! Great movie. Best of 2022 so far. |
