The Cell Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Like [anyone's] imagination, the movie's landscape is littered with half-remembered pop artifacts... what's different is that Tarsem, a commercial and video director here making his feature debut, sticks the protagonists in a garden of unearthly delights.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Gives imaginative and visual shape to as it were the very soul of misogynism, perversion, depravity, sadism, and the supreme nihilism and egotism of the damned.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A movie with no plot, no logic, no meaning.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Ultimately, the reliance on a dream world tends to reduce suspense and even narrative logic. Thus, everything is possible and nothing is necessary.
Slate
David Edelstein
The Cell is pretty silly. But I admired its cinematic ambition until the final scenes.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
The summer's silliest cinematic experience has to be The Cell, ostensibly a slightly futuristic serial killer movie but, subtextually, a commercial for the Saatchi collection.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The deeper the movie goes into its characters' heads, the more it finds shallow, familiar scenes of sexual domination and submission
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
If you thought virtual-reality thrillers and spin-offs of The Silence of the Lambs had run their course, guess again.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
Almost worth seeing because there's nothing else like it, it's also easy to wish there never will be again.
Associated Press
David Germain
It's hard to avoid an acute case of gag reflex sitting through a feature film's worth of ponderous pomp that amounts to little more than one long TV commercial for itself.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
What can you expect in The Cell? Operatic visuals, a beautiful Lopez, great acting by Vaughn and D'Onofrio and an extremely sick storyline that will make you squirm in your seat.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Tarsem uses the dramatically shallow plot to create a dream world densely packed with images of beauty and terror that cling to the memory even if you don't want them to.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
You can question the worthiness of [the filmmakers'] subject and vision, but you can't really argue with the way they executed it.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Taken on its own boldly visual terms, The Cell can be enjoyed as a stroll through a contemporary museum of your purplest imaginings.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
The movie impresses more than it entertains, conjuring up a head full of evocative images that don't really evoke all that much.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Had Tarsem stuck a Chanel bag or bottle of Calvin Klein perfume into the picture, he'd have ruined nothing.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
If looks could kill, this would be the best movie of the summer. But beneath the considerable eye candy, The Cell is an awfully generic variation on the overworked serial-killer genre.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
There is an emotional vacuum at the center of this picture.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
One of the best films of the year.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The film at times feels like an assembly of images that strives primarily for visceral impact, throwing cohesiveness to the wind.
