The Hummingbird Project Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"The Hummingbird Project" basically works; it's intriguing; the actors play it just straight enough to make it feel like a fact-based drama (though it isn't) with a few darkly comic details.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A believability problem hampers this potentially fascinating story about the high-tech Wild West.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The Hummingbird Project runs a lot thicker and deeper than that fiber-optic cable.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Somewhere, buried within the innards of writer/director Kim Nguyen's The Hummingbird Project, is the skeleton of a compelling techno-thriller.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
[A]n invigorating snapshot of greed that examines how far competitors will go to gain even the slightest fraction of an edge over their rivals in the stock market.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It may be haphazard and loosely focused. But thanks to Skarsgård it's never really boring.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It all feels a bit contrived.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
At once an offbeat comedy and a satisfyingly weird thriller.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
What makes The Hummingbird Project so intriguing is that it explores areas of business - and of industrial espionage - so esoteric that it's hard to imagine that it's really a business model.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
It may be a modest indie film, but it deserves a broad audience. Highly recommended.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
What might have made for either a thrilling, high-stakes drama or, at the very least, an intelligent comedy, ends up wildly uneven.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
It's a lot to pack into a movie of less than two hours of running time. To Nguyen's credit, he balances the elements of his screenplay with such skill that the audience doesn't get too lost in the weeds.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
While its banter keeps the scenes moving along briskly, Vinny talks in that scammy "we're all going to be millionaires" way you've seen in umpteen other finance sagas.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
Sometimes funny, sometimes smart, always watchable, but perhaps the film's dedication to turning a clever tale into something profound was a miscalculation.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Whatever it takes to keep a techno hellraiser on its feet, this humdrum Hummingbird doesn't have it, despite the efforts of Eisenberg and Skarsgård to breathe some life into it.
NPR
Ella Taylor
At its best The Hummingbird Project is a parable about failure, but one that ultimately undercuts itself with redeeming goo.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
[Skarsgård is] often the best part of anything he's in, but here he's uncanny.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
This one works overtime, shifting gears repeatedly without once providing enough substance for the viewer to engage.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
That so much might be riding on so little is a critical irony that The Hummingbird Project recognizes but ultimately fumbles.
Observer
Oliver Jones
When a story is predicated on something as dramatically inert as laying high-speed fiber-optic cable, it requires characters more fully fleshed out than those on presentation here.
