The Box Critic Reviews

  • "...the narrative is so fractured and foolish. What the plot doesn't decimate, the film's slower-than-a-clogged-drain pacing does. Sadly, this is one box that's just not worth picking up off the porch, much less opening, not even for a million dollars." Los Angeles Times

    - Betsey Sharkey

  • "Though the concept is fascinating, director Richard Kelly has fashioned a preposterous tale that lacks the wit that made his Donnie Darko a cult classic." USA Today

    - Claudia Puig

  • "Pushing a few of the right buttons and plenty of the wrong ones, The Box reps a dicey mainstream effort..." Variety
