Leave your thoughts about The First Purge.
| HighDef DigestDeirdre CrimminsIt's entertaining, but do not mistake its popcorn-friendly veneer for a lack of substance or morality. |
| Washington PostAlan ZilbermanThe result is an unabashedly violent B-movie throwback, the sort director John Carpenter used to make, with moments that resonate with real life. |
| Village VoiceBilge EbiriThe First Purge actually pulls back somewhat on that sense of bloodthirsty anticipation. The violence here feels more tragic than ever, and it’s also some time coming; when Purge Night does start, the killing doesn’t begin immediately. |
| Columbus UndergroundHope MaddenThe African American director and his primarily African American cast take us inside a film that, if it's not America today, it's America of like three weeks from now. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakThe First Purge becomes a call to arms so to speak (sometimes to its detriment) — a reminder that we must stand up and for each other at the voting booths and in our communities now so we won’t need the civil war of Election Year. |
| Little White LiesAnton BitelMaybe it's forgettable, but it could not be more of its time. |
| Boston HeraldStephen Schaefer'The First Purge" is as subtle - and as effective - as a blowtorch. |
| What the Flick?!Alonso DuraldeIt's really direct, and it's really damning. I like this movie a lot. |
| Black Nerd ProblemsAisha JordanThe First Purge is a heavy handed metaphor on the real actions of the United States government and classism, with a Black Lives Matter neck snapping revenge. |
| VoxAlissa WilkinsonIt knows what year it’s coming out — on July 4, no less — and it’s slamming on every hot button it can find. That might be cathartic. It might also be turning pain into entertainment. With The First Purge, your mileage may vary. |
