Leave your thoughts about The Big Ask.
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThough their resolution is a little too neat to be believed, the filmmakers' way with their cast makes this debut a promising one. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkThe problem is we've seen this all before and then some; to call this trite would be an understatement. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterThe Big Ask begins with a loose cannon of a premise, but the resulting damage is precise in its effect and power. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSelf-conscious, tonally uncertain and thematically vague, The Big Ask is a premise in search of a movie, one that co-directors Thomas Beatty and Rebecca Fishman never quite find. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonExplores deep psychological questions by wrapping them in the promise of unusual sexual hijinks |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe array of TV veterans assembled for the film don’t necessarily do anything wrong, and their charisma sometimes translates from small screen to big, but, as is so often the case with the indie dramedy, an unrealistic script lets down a talented cast. |
| The DissolveVadim RizovThere’s little sense that these people are friends for any reason besides the script saying so, and the contrasts between the three relationships produce no real insight in this hollow, irritating drama. |
| Under the RadarZach HollwedelIt's hard to tell what's most dislikeable about this film. |
| User ReviewLee MBeatty and Fishman botch their third act payoff, but The Big Ask remains a compellingly exploratory odyssey into desperate acts of communication, with a side of sexual awkwardness. |
| User ReviewDaniel SDavid Krumholtz and a couple extended cameos make some of this film bearable. Either than that the characters are unrealistic and just downright unlikable. |
