Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones Reviews
Film Threat
Dante James
[O]verall, I found the special funny, entertaining, and yes... very edgy. But more importantly, I felt like in the end, the world of comedy benefited from it.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
You've got our attention, pal. You just haven't delivered the funny.
Paste Magazine
Garrett Martin
Sticks & Stones is terrible, and [Dave] Chappelle can only blame himself for that.
The Atlantic
Hannah Giorgis
Sticks and Stones registers as a temper tantrum, the product of a man who wants it all -- money, fame, influence -- without much having to answer to anyone.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Sticks & Stones exists as a defiant design to intentionally offend large swaths of the audience Chappelle deems too thin-skinned and easily outraged.. while serving up simple, low-bar yucks to anyone yearning for validation of their anti-P.C. stance.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Sticks and Stones is designed to generate inflammatory coverage... It's a symbiotic cycle with no end in sight, and it's become the last thing a beloved provocateur should ever want to be: predictable.
Slate
Inkoo Kang
Like dropping in on a rascally uncle who doesn't know, or doesn't care, how much he's disappointing you.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Chappelle is fascinating, sophisticated, and what sets him apart, fearless.
Pajiba
Dan Hamamura
Sticks & Stones leaves the audience with the sense that there was more work to be done before the special was filmed.
Vanity Fair
Laura Bradley
Ultimately, though, it feels like stale work from a comedian who was once known for truly boundary-pushing comedy - the kind that actually understood nuance, particularly where famous and powerful men were concerned.

Ian Thomas Malone
Lacking empathy can certainly be amusing, but Sticks & Stones is a tired routine by a man who forgot to layer jokes into his act, too often sounding like a pundit on Fox News.
Nerd Reactor
John Nguyen
He's one of the few comedians who can really touch on a lot of different sensitive topics and still make it funny.
World of Reel
Jordan Ruimy
There's an overwhelming feeling of the now as you watch "Sticks and Stones." It feels immediate, a plea from one of our very best comedians to his own audience to stop the hysteria.

I couldn't help but appreciate the fact that, well, this guy will do it; he'll go there.
Entertainment Voice
Alci Rengifo
"Sticks & Stones" isn't necessarily a failure, it just feels like Chappelle presenting half-formed material with few jokes that truly hit hard and stand out.
National Review
Kyle Smith
The set mostly misses the mark. And what is that mark? The truth. Chappelle remains one of the most vital, and certainly among the most daring, of standups... His latest hour is a setback.
Decider
Sean L. McCarthy
Not that Chappelle himself feels he has anything to fear, but he leans into his own transgressive nature, nonetheless...
