Mortal Reviews
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Wolff, given virtually nothing to work with, never figures out what to do with Eric, resorting to an all-purpose glower that makes him look like a very constipated Shia LaBoeuf.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Yet another dreary entry in the overly serious superhero genre, where brooding and brown cinematography add a false veneer of importance to the proceedings.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
What Øvredal does come up with is still consistently intriguing, from a patch of sun in the middle of a rain shower to the idea of a huge tree - never shown - that Eric alone sees in visions.
Nightmarish Conjurings
Shannon McGrew
Mortal is an ambitious film that tells of a descendant story in a grounded but visually stimulating way.
Cultured Vultures
Natasha Alvar
...the film fails to deliver anything compelling or satisfying.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Mortal plods along for most of its running time with the occasional helicopter chase scene and plenty of CGI fulminology: But ultimately Ovredal's not-so-deep-dive into Norwegian mythos is a too-obvious let down.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Øvredal's lopsided sense of humor has deserted him entirely: The sillier the story gets, the more glumly and earnestly the film trudges through it.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The title "Mortal" wouldn't seem to require much explanation, but this Norway-set fantasy film leads with a handy definition ("mortal [mawr-tl] n. A human being"). Its estimation of viewers' intelligence doesn't improve from there.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Never really pays off, and it's such a slog to get to that ending that people might feel slightly underwhelmed.
Film Inquiry
Andrew Stover
André Øvredal's deliberately measured, equivocal approach to heroism and villainy is a refreshing departure from the superhero film we've come to expect in this day and age.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Mortal is essentially a sci-fi chase movie that doesn't really go anywhere ... All the electrical storms and fires concocted for this movie still can't ignite the film's very dull and unimaginative plot.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Wolff is captivating, but the wobbly attempt at an origin story feels arbitrary and lacks emotional conviction.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
There's only so much to enjoy in the realm of superpowered beings when the thrill of these discoveries, let alone the journey, is not that exciting.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
Mortal has engaging leads and a compelling premise. The movie just takes so long to set things up that there's little room to build on what makes it unique.
What To Watch
Leigh Monson
There's so much about it that feels commonplace and ordinary about 'Mortal' that it fails to live up to its extraordinary director.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Unfortunately, this conceptualization feels about as Norwegian as General Tso's Chicken can claim to be authentic Chinese cuisine and does no favors for the Norse god's potential cinematic patrilineage.
We Live Entertainment
Sarah Musnicky
MORTAL offers a glimpse inside a different Norse origin-story with mixed success. With pacing issues and storytelling pitfalls, the film's success lies in its cast.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Mortal is a fascinating take nonetheless with some cool set pieces and a willingness to increase stakes by killing characters and dealing with the complexity of the aftermath.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Ovredal's examination of earthbound fear and reaction to a potentially supernatural visitation is compelling, finding a way to deliver a comic book experience with emotional weight.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...slow-moving and palpably padded-out...
