Leave your thoughts about Viper Club.
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenThere is grace in Sarandon’s performance. And heartbreaking power. |
| ObserverRex ReedThe film eschews a Hollywood happy ending in favor of bone-chilling reality, which makes Viper Club doubly relevant amid current headlines. |
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineAbove all, this is Sarandon’s picture and maybe her best film work in many years. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyViper Club is an earnest and often engaging film that’s undeniably heartfelt. It’s capital-I important and timely. But without its star’s passionate, nuanced performance, it would run the risk of being a bit generic and forgettable. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergViper Club falters with mawkish flashbacks of the mother and son, and with its ham-fisted, repeated emphasis on the smarm of government officials. But it is mostly gripping. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranViper Club is an attempt at a very difficult balancing act. It doesn’t quite succeed, but it deploys enough persuasive elements to make the attempt involving. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearRage, not righteousness, is the mode here, but the muted, disbelieving, draining kind. Simple answers aren’t on the menu. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisIn a film that should be dripping with drama, there is surprisingly little tension. |
| TheWrapDan CallahanThis is a slow-burning movie, but its stealth and intelligence eventually packs an emotional punch. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovIranian-American director Keshavarz utilizes the always reliable Sarandon to fine effect, but the final takeaway is less than riveting. |
