Slingshot Reviews
Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
At its best, the film manages to capture the forlornness and desperation John experiences on his long, strange trip, and Affleck does a good job conveying that tone as he keeps waking up and going to sleep, over and over.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a somber, serious experience that won't appeal to everybody, but it's quite smart and will keep you guessing until its last seconds.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
With a shorter running time, a better final scene and a heated-up romance, "Slingshot" might have had lift-off.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
... A film that attempts to graft tropes of the genre onto the inescapable corners of a spaceship, but can't find the actual parts to make the transfer.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
A test of metal gradually turns into a test of mettle, with Mr. Affleck's grit paving the way.
Washington Post
Ty Burr
With a hero this passive, unfortunately, the movie can't help but spin its wheels.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Unfortunately, even Affleck can't fill the vacuum in between all the predictable beats and the insufferable series of twists and reveals that undercut any empathy for the characters.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
A danger-fraught and hallucination-plagued space mission.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
The movie is pretty much lost in space, but its saving grace is Laurence Fishburne, 63 (The Matrix) as Frank's Captain. Fishburne always finds a place of truth from which to build his characters, however far-fetched.
Screen Rant
Ben Gibbons
Slingshot has a lot of promise, with many elements lined up perfectly, but there is a lack of creativity in the story and an ending that falls flat.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The Swedish director Mikael Håfström, whose best-known American film is the chilling 2007 Stephen King adaptation 1408, employs jump scares and quick cuts to capture the looming sense of danger...
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
The movie milks the tension a little too much, drawing out the running time. But it kept me guessing, and for an ambitious psychological thriller in the vast emptiness of space, it made its point.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It feels like a movie that hates its characters. And hates you too.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
A pretty solid, emotionally driven work, buoyed by fantastic performances and a perfectly chilly atmosphere.
WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)
Patrick McDonald
I dug the psychology, didn't dig the aspect of storytelling which got in its own way. Casey was at the bat in this one, holding the piece together through sheer will, and his stellar chops as an actor helped the narrative. In space, he had a decent face.
ScullyVision
Dan Scully
Enjoyable enough in fits and starts, but as a whole it's two hours not very well spent.
Slant Magazine
Ross McIndoe
The continued cutaways back to Earth effectively de-pressurize Slingshot's main plotline.
Geek Vibes Nation
M.N. Miller
This may be the first film to put the viewer through the visceral reaction of lethargy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
While the vessel hurtles through the galaxy at thousands of miles per hour, the film often seems to move in slow motion.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Despite its many twists and turns, "Slingshot" shows no signs of life.
