Leave your thoughts about When the Bough Breaks.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIts unrelenting flatness is a real shame, and now an autumn tradition. |
| Paste MagazineJim HemphillThis is Cassar's second film this year -- the first was the exquisite Western Forsaken -- and confirmation that he's a filmmaker of uncommon talent and versatility. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonThe worst kind of thriller -- one where seemingly smart people keep doing dumb things over and over and over. |
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenA lazily written and generically directed Fatal Attraction knockoff. |
| The RingerK. Austin CollinsGive us a When the Bough Breaks with smarter direction. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeWhen The Bough Breaks resembles nothing more than a cheap fast-food burger served on fine china: Tasty, sure, and quite enjoyable in the moment. But once the credits roll and the primal centers of the brain stimulated by guilty pleasures like this one return to normal, all you’ll remember is that it looked prettier than usual. |
| Jamaica GleanerDamian LevyIts worst crime is being predictable, which sort of kills the suspense of it all. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonThe presence of a predominantly African-American cast arguably is the only distinguishing characteristic of this by-the-numbers thriller. |
| SF CrowsnestFrank Ochieng... woefully generic. Truthfully, its presentable package of panicky polish includes a stylish suspense piece highlighting an attractive cast involved in familiar dramatic cable-TV inspired shrugs and false jolts. |
| Pay Or WaitSharronda WilliamsWe have seen this same story over and over again and this movie does nothing to give us any new twists. |
