Crisis Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Crisis" is something of a horror film, and not in a good way.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The film juggles three main stories and more minor ones, and several end up going over the top...
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's a noble effort, but like plans for a quick trip across the river to Montreal, "Crisis" never comes together.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Filmmaker Nicholas Jarecki deploys a multi-narrative structure, a la Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic," for his well-intended epic on the American opioid epidemic. It doesn't work.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
A classic example of a movie that wants to be a little bit of everything, only to add up to a much lesser version of something you keep waiting to see.
Austin Chronicle
Shane Pfender
The film's narrative and characters reason that any difficult situation can be solved with blind brute force and a pistol. If you're looking for a cutting critique of the American addiction industry, look elsewhere.
Entertainment Weekly
Maureen Lee Lenker
Its biggest crisis is that it's a thriller with no thrills.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's a little too all over the place, with a few too many movies trying to be contained in this to be able to come together and make sense.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Crisis feels like a lecture made up entirely of hypotheticals.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The tragedy associated with such stories could provide fertile territory, theoretically, for a good drama about what went wrong and who's ultimately responsible. That movie might get made someday, but Crisis isn't it.
Salon.com
Gary M. Kramer
Nicholas Jarecki who wrote, directed, produced, and also appears in a supporting role, does none of these things well. Especially all of them.... [Crisis] is meant to be hard-hitting, but it is completely soft-headed.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The issues - from addiction itself to the flawed incentives at institutions that might prevent it - demand a more expansive treatment.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
It feels like research dressed as a drama.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Well-meaning but underwhelming.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
This smart, clearly well-researched movie satisfies in some ways, feels diluted in others.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Time and again, the film shortchanges the human elements of its stories for drug stats that can be Googled in a matter of seconds.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Jarecki's tendency to streamline subplots doesn't make "Crisis" any less engaging, giving everything a pop, Michael Crichton-esque feel.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The movie becomes so enamored with showing enmeshed storylines of the three main characters that it all just becomes a tangled mess that tries to tie up loose ends neatly in a very unrealistic way, in order to have a cliché movie ending.
Asheville Movies
Edwin Arnaudin
Jarecki takes a "Crash"-like approach to the opioid impact, which lends an ill-fitting, hyperbolic edge to the important issue and its numerous facets.
Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)
Pamela Powell
Oldman and Lilly shine in this crime thriller, but it's the humanity and less obvious situations that are the most captivating of all.
