Oxygen Ratings & Reviews

Wild ride, but pretty predictable. I made a prediction to my wife what was going on in the first 10 minutes of the movie. I was about 90% correct. That said, it was still enjoyable and the acting was fantastic. The only real complaint I have is that the lies she's being told by the callers are simply unnecessary. They were only there to keep the viewer confused but ultimately add nothing to the plot. There were also many unnecessary plot and time extenders (having her turn something off to make a reveal, rather than just telling her the truth) purely for dramatic effect.

"Oxygen" takes us on a thrilling voyage and lands at an unexpected destination.

Matt Donato
Mélanie Laurent works within her sealed-pod boundaries to deliver a stellar performance, but overall, 'Oxygen' feels like a short film stretched well beyond sustainable narrative limits.

What Oxygen's really about doesn't pack enough of a punch, but it is an especially well shot contained thriller with a phenomenal lead performance from Mélanie Laurent.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
This French sci-fi film plays on elements of claustrophobia and suspense to deliver a compelling, though limited, tale.

Oxygen isn't the most original movie, but it's a captivating story, told in a beautiful, entertaining manner.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Is worth seeing because it sometimes feels good just watching a dead person come back to life.

Erik Childress
It is not hard to get ahead of the film's mysteries and once you do it is hard to care about the outcome especially when its central danger is rarely felt.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
[Mélanie] Laurent is controlling every single element of her minimalist performance impeccably.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A neat little sci-fi nightmare; a cool-toned exercise in claustrophobia that nearly pulls off the innate improbabilities of its high-concept nonsense.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Aja knows what sort of product he is turning out and does it ably, if without much excitement, as though understanding he is filling a hole in a lineup.
New York Times
Lena Wilson
Aja maintains tension throughout, using horror conventions - and a few cheap jump scares - to routinely shock the audience back to attention.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Alas, "Oxygen" is too busy gasping for itself to embrace the Socratic method, and so there's precious little payoff to the answers that it gradually teases out from MILO.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
Oxygen doesn't do anything new with its familiar setup, but Aja brings taut, propulsive energy matched by his talented lead.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
With robust direction in an incredibly confined space and Laurent's phenomenal work, Oxygen should feel like a breath of fresh air for people looking for something to watch on Netflix.
AV Club
Katie Rife
As one might expect, much of the responsibility for keeping Oxygen compelling rests on Laurent, who runs through all the stages of grief, from denial to acceptance, as she thrashes against her high-tech prison.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Oxygen won't quite leave you breathless, but it should leave you thinking -- and surprised. For this sort of movie, that's perhaps the most precious fuel of all.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Todd McCarthy
A locked-in-a-box conceptual thriller that more or less succeeds almost entirely due to Mélanie Laurent's resourceful performance as a woman who has no idea why she's become trapped in a tiny cryogenic pod.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Executed the way Aja approaches it, the plot holes become apparent. Some are big enough to push an asteroid through. But it's an intriguing journey all the same...
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
A tight exercise in breathless unease.
