Movie Reviews

eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Rob GonsalvesThe best thing about the movie is that, if Kelly was really aiming to please the average popcorn-munchers, he fails. He can't help it.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Peter SobczynskiWhat seems on the surface to be just another hacky sellout from a once-interesting filmmaker on the commercial skids is actually one of the most genuinely freaky and fascinating films of the year.
Richmond Times-Dispatch - 9/10 by Mike WardThe dude behind Donnie Darko and kid from Richmond's South Side has crafted the kind of movie that will have some diggin' its trippy cosmic karma, and others trashing its gimmick gone wild.
Horror Hacker - 9/10 by Maitland McDonaghRichard Kelly's convoluted moral thriller gets off to a terrifically eerie start but collapses beneath the weight of its Big Ideas.
Screenwize - 9/10 by Cris KennedyI'd like to think there is a director's cut coming at some point to fill in the gaping holes.
Empire - 8/10 by Mark DinningMovie Marmite. Many will be perplexed. Donnie Darko fans should lap it up.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Rene RodriguezThe Box is a mess, but it's a curiously haunting, intriguing, brain-tickling mess, and it delivers that "Donnie Darko" feeling in truckloads. Or should that be rocketloads?
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertThis movie kept me involved and intrigued, and for that I'm grateful. I'm beginning to wonder whether, in some situations, absurdity might not be a strength.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. Anderson[Director Kelly] ventures boldly into the ludicrous, and comes out the other side with an even more sinister conclusion.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThe Box is the work of a visionary flirting with commercialism after having so grandly flouted it with “Southland Tales.’’ He doesn’t give in completely. Several trips to the megaplex might be required for The Box to make complete sense.
