Leave your thoughts about Synchronic.
| The PlaylistJason BaileyThe kind of brainy, absorbing, all-out thrilling cinema that’s in dangerously short supply these days. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyMoorhead and Benson don’t overlook the more amusing aspects of the scenario . . . . And the duo deliver shocks, scares and a resonant payoff. |
| Consequence of SoundRyan LarsonSynchronic splices together science fiction, heart, and humor to create one hell of a potion, one you’re going to soak up as soon as possible. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoThrilling sci-fi exploration that ponders the melancholic state of self-worth, existence, and what it truly means to be alive. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThis is not some whacked-out drug trip movie, or scolding afterschool anti-drug special. This is anti-psychedelia, grounded in the strangeness of true life. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrOpens itself up to some splendid drive-in philosophizing. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzWhile it offers some gripping and/or darkly beautiful images, it's ultimately more about ideas than spectacle, proving (like every previous film by this team) that you don't need a gigantic amount of money to create an engrossing work of science fiction and/or fantasy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThrough the psychedelic journeys and the blood-spattered crime scenes and the brooding atmosphere, Synchronic is at heart a good old-fashioned buddy movie about two friends who will risk all for each other. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshWhat makes Synchronic sing is the two together, zinging each other with sardonic one-liners, their conversations meandering to the cosmic and the macabre after a few whiskeys. |
| EmpireDan JolinA smart indie sci-fi which has much to say and some great ideas, all wrapped up in a designer-drug-based premise that makes it sound less interesting than it actually is. |
