The Oath Reviews
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
[Barinholtz] lacks storytelling chops, aiming for wildly provocative satire but instead churning out a technically spotty screed.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
I found it to be the equivalent of a free-swinging slugger who is willing to strike out once, twice, even three times - but then hits one clear out of the park. It's worth the risk-reward ratio.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
For all the darkness and pessimism, there is a hopeful strain to "The Oath," if you're willing to pay close attention.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Political satire is one of the trickiest of genres; this one, running out of steam and nerve, ultimately becomes a too-familiar example of another genre: the 93-minute movie that feels way, way too long.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
One thing that's admirable about The Oath is that Barinholtz never apologizes.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
"The Oath" manages to raise the moral stakes along with the mortal ones, ultimately arriving at some pretty tough questions.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Oath" has a sharp tongue and plenty to say about our times. It's just too bad it can't finish the conversation.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
The movie's dystopia-meets-family-dinner mix feels like it's building to something bigger than the sum of its rants ... and then it doesn't.
Entertainment Weekly
Maureen Lee Lenker
The laughs laced with a sigh as we watch arguments play out that have brought us to a collective national state of exhaustion and despair.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
The movie isn't always up to the delicacy of [its] ambitious balancing act, but even the attempt is engaging.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
There oughta be a law against casting Tiffany Haddish in a movie that squanders her talents.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
A blistering political satire that may rip the bandage and the scab, as well as a lot of the skin, off a political wound that has barely had time to heal.
Slant Magazine
Peter Goldberg
Even while it asks us to recognize ourselves in a world not too distant from our own, The Oath seems to say that the worst part of a full-fledged American dystopia would be the ruined holiday dinners.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
For a first-time director like Barinholtz, The Oath is more than impressive. Tonally, it goes all over the place, but that only serves to keep the audience as off-balance as the characters onscreen.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Wants to have its pie and eat it too - lobbing political hand grenades and then running away, refusing to engage in the consequences the scenarios set up.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
The Oath lands in an unpleasant middle ground that is too close to reality to feel like escapism, and too antic to feel equipped at anything like incisiveness.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The Oath wants to interrogate belief, but... it's only thinking about events. Its biggest joke might be the idea that politics alone can start and stop human evil, or heal a family.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Mr. Barinholtz has enough cachet to assemble an excellent cast, although he's not as canny about using it.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
A satire like The Oath compels the audience to confront [today's headlines], albeit in fictionalized form.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
[Barinholtz] manages to derive some amusing observations about toxic masculinity.
