Killing Bono Ratings & Reviews
Den of Geek
Michael Leader
It is a shame, but after its intriguing opening, Killing Bono squanders all of its promise.
Film Threat
Jessica Baxter
Despite having plenty of guns, drugs and danger,[Killing Bono] isn't really all that dark.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
An amusingly fluffy musical biopic.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
While Barnes and Sheehan are persuasive as the squabbling siblings, the music-biz mockery is blunt and obvious.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A charming admixture of "Goodfellas" and "Almost Famous," "Killing Bono" is a fanciful rock tale that is nevertheless based on a true story.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A shapeless rock-music caper that, like its deluded antihero, just doesn't know when to stop.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Hamm's movie is sparky and fun, and full of affectionate pokes at the '80s music scene. It's also, in terms of music biopics, probably better than the real thing.
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
the story of what would charitably be called a wackadoo
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Neil's not a very likable protagonist - he's actually often awful - but who can't relate to that nagging certainty that one's destined for great things?
AV Club
Noel Murray
There's a difference between "funny" and "comedy," and the movie adaptation of Killing Bono tries way too hard to be nutty, at the expense of just getting across what McCormick knows.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
The migraine of a story arc needed sharp comedy reflexes or, at least, a live-wire/slummy star turn and got neither.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
Killing Bono never really gets going, mostly because it has no real idea of how to convey joy, pain, or any type of emotional progression.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Don't expect any factual expose about the formative years of U2; this is more of a rock farce in which the band is sort of a plot device.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
It's certainly lightweight, but there's nothing at all wrong with that. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Television Without Pity
Ethan Alter
Killing Bono's rise-and-fall arc is a little predictable, but the cast is spirited and U2 fans should get a kick out of the references to the band's early days.
Film.com
Christine Champ
Funny, irreverent, slightly bitter, and brimming with self-importance and self-loathing.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
This cleverly conceived, behind-the-scenes tale features fine lead performances and enough nods to the epic group's early days to interest fans outside the U.K.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
Dialogue is occasionally sharp, even genuinely funny at times, but not often enough to support the farcical antics of the last act.
