Brigsby Bear Ratings & Reviews

More than a little bit maudlin' By the end I found myself all-in. This film about art Is, in no small part Equal parts cringe and enthrallin'
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"Brigsby Bear" is charming, sweet, creative, different and disturbing.
Salon.com
Matthew Rozsa
"Brigsby Bear" is a funny, oddly touching look at the pros and cons of millennials' tendency to obsess over pop culture.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Brigsby Bear" is the kind of movie Kyle Mooney would make fun of on "Saturday Night Live."
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
The approach can be a reach, but on the whole it works better than you might guess.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
A movie about storytelling that succeeds by keeping its focus on the storyteller.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
What a strange and lovely road we travel with Brigsby Bear.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Those who like things sentimental and sweet - and there's nothing wrong with that - will find comfort in the notion of leaving the past behind to allow the future to go forward.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The rash of real-life cases in which women or children were kidnapped and held captive for years has played out on American movie screens as drama (Room), horror (10 Cloverfield Lane), and now cottage cheese.
Village Voice
April Wolfe
It's often charming to watch James stumble through his new life with the glee of Jake Gyllenhaal as Jimmy Livingston in Bubble Boy.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Mostly it's a sweet and sometimes delightful melancholic story of a lonely man saved by imagination and love.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The film does have jokes, but Mooney, channeling the spirit of Peter Sellers, delivers them all without even the slightest hint that he knows he's joking.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Scrappy and modest though [the] movie may be, it all coheres beautifully, and with a sweetness that never feels faked.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's imaginative and even brilliant at times, and then it starts to cave in. But then we think no, maybe not, maybe everything's going to be made right . . . until it collapses completely.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Mooney is the main reason to see Brigsby Bear, the sort of indie dramedy that wears its on-the-spectrum quirk on its sleeve.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
A sweet-natured picture with an undercurrent of prickly energy.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
A slight, handcrafted indie that's sweet, skewed, and feels a bit like a skit stretched out to feature length.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
"Brigsby" never ventures into the caustic simply for the sake of comedy. These days, that's refreshing. There aren't many movies that value sweetness over cynicism.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Brigsby Bear is really just a story about how people relate to the entertainment that helped raised them-and how simultaneously pure and destructive that relationship can be.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It often feels as if Brigsby Bear has such an 'unusual' concept that the creators were then scared to lean into it, making everything about its delivery feel like it's designed to soften the sharp edges and lighten its darker tones.
