Critic Reviews for Our Brand Is Crisis on Moviebuff.com

It’s a makeover worthy of the vote vampires it ends up critiquing and lionizing

AA Dowd, AV Club

All the talent and comedic timing in the world can’t rescue this unfocused script from its lack of relevance, poignancy or meaning

David Blaustein, ABC News

'Our Brand is Crisis', is a messy affair that sputters along when it should be humming with assured cynical momentum

Glenn Kenny, Roger Ebert

'Our Brand Is Crisis', plays it straight down the noncommittal middle

Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

'Our Brand Is Crisis', didn't turn out better as the ingredients are there, it all comes down to the studio wanting to make a commercial movie out of a totally non-commercial subject

Chris Bumbray, JoBlo.com

'Our Brand Is Crisis', still could have been an excellent tale, but told through a soft prism of second chances and good intentions, we can’t buy what Green is selling

Matt Goldberg, Collider

'Our Brand Is Crisis', is not only timely for this presidential election cycle, but it also really hits the zeitgeist as a smart, funny, entertaining and important look at the machinery behind a campaign

Pete Hammond, Deadline

Eric D. Snider wishes Our 'Brand is Crisis', had been more willing to take its "American cutthroat politics exported to Bolivia" premise and given it more real satirical punch

Scott Renshaw, Salt Lake City Weekly

It's undeniably entertaining, but a conundrum

Jocelyn Noveck, Yahoo News

'Our Brand Is Crisis', really hits the zeitgeist as a smart, funny, entertaining and important look at the machinery behind a campaign

Pete Hammond, Deadline

David Gordon Green couldn’t sell his brand good enough to convince the audience., which puts the film in crisis

Sajid, Cinema Glitz

Crisis leaves an unpleasant taste - not unlike that of a campaign commercial that surrounds a candidate with real-world ugliness, then bathes her alone in beatific light

Margot Harrison, Seven Days

“In politics, perception matters,” the end credits advise, and for Bullock’s offscreen campaign to register, one supposes she had to find her soul

Peter Debruge, Variety

'Our Brand Is Crisis', is familiar and safe, exactly what a good satire shouldn’t be, i love Bullock, but you can skip this one

Jordan Hunt, CaryCitizen

'Our Brand is Crisis', offers further proof that the truth is almost always more interesting and entertaining than fiction

Edward Douglas, ComingSoon.net

Enjoy 'Our Brand is Crisis', for Bullock’s comedic talents and dirty tricks in a movie that doesn’t really want to get its hands dirty

Michael Smith, Tulsa World

It is an entertaining and humorous portrayal of the political tactics undertaken during an election, and the extremes to which politicians will go to win it

Mrinal Masand, BookMyShow

As a film about a woman embarking on the path of self-discovery, caught between marketing and the media, the film works

Renuka Vyavahare, The Times of India

'Our Brand is Crisis', doesn't have quite the oomph, comedically or dramatically, to fully deliver the goods

Max Nicholson, IGN

The livewire in 'Our Brand is Crisis', is Sandra Bullock who is fiercely funny and touching as "Calamity Jane" Bodine

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

'Our Brand is Crisis', is dreary and should be avoided at all costs

Mike Sullivan, The Weekender

Much of 'Our Brand', is played for laughs, including Jane’s early altitude sickness, opponents pranking one another and the reckless, rowdy sight of competing campaign buses racing along narrow roads

Barbara Vancheri, Pittsburgh Post Gazette

This “Crisis” is over

Jon Gallo, Gwinnett Daily Post

'Our Brand is Crisis', is a lot like tuning in to watch a well-paced sporting event between two teams you don’t follow

Sean O'Connell, Cinema Blend

There’s nothing new about the political smoke-and-mirrors; the Bullock/Thornton relationship fails to convince, and the inevitable idealistic resolution feels unsatisfying and unearned

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
