A Lot of Nothing Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
There's an earnest, yearning passion here that makes the film feel vital even at its clumsiest.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
A Lot of Nothing presents a script simmering with buzzwords but ultimately no thesis.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
It's an entertaining if overstuffed ride that pulls no punches. Because these conversations only seem to ever end worse than they've begun since the only person we truly listen to today is ourselves.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[T]he movie is finally a confounding exercise in doing a lot without saying much of insight or worth.
TheWrap
Ronda Racha Penrice
McRae certainly shows promise as a director, if not a writer, with Noel, Coleman, Anderson, and Scott demonstrating they can handle complex portrayals well. It's just unfortunate the story doesn't live up to all their talents.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A disappointing and underwhelming misfire. A clunky, sophomoric and increasingly implausible B-movie that quickly runs out of steam.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
More of a trauma drama than a satirical thriller, it never lets up on the buttons it's pushing or the characters it's manipulating.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
While this social thriller and suburban satire doesn't always have coherent answers, at least it's asking the right questions.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
McRae provides a layered debut, but the film cant maintain its momentum, spiraling in the final act as it scurries to introduce new information.

Rachel Wagner
Mo McRae is going for satire but there still needs to be some believability in the character and his or her choices. Not the case here.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
A complete tonal mess, this movie makes a mockery of the Black Lives Matter movement and insults African American women the most. The filmmakers think the best way for Black people to fight racism is to become criminals and perpetuate racist stereotypes.
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
Hang onto the edge of your seat for a wickedly entertaining ride.
In Review Online
Chris Mello
For all A Lot of Nothing has going for it, it buckles under the weight of a host of ill-advised narrative avenues, stylistic choices, and at least one semi-infuriating twist.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
The opening scene is a phenomenal short film of its own, but McRae sadly can't quite get back there again.
Austin Chronicle
Rod Machen
McRae leaves the audience with a clear sense that nothing is as simple as it seems or we'd like it to be.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It raises timely racial concerns that make for uneasy viewing.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
While it doesn't end on a satisfying note, this is nonetheless an excitingly combustible piece that announces a vibrant talent unafraid to confront thorny issues head-on.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Even if the onyx-dark humor and sardonic formal control go MIA eventually, "A Lot of Nothing" is really quite something.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
The points the film sets out to raise - about activism, police brutality and the function of race in society - ultimately, and unfortunately, get lost in the twists and turns of James and Vanessa's hair-raising story.
Black Girl Nerds
Stacey Yvonne
'A Lot of Nothing' is a film that trusts its audience and will only benefit from multiple watches and discussions which I highly recommend.
