Critic Reviews of "The Discovery"
Tom Huddleston Time OutApril 03, 2017More interested in metaphysical ponderings and so-called 'human truths' than in telling a convincing story.
David Sims The AtlanticMarch 31, 2017The Discovery poses a fascinating existential question to its audience, but doesn't quite manage to fill in a plot around it.
Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-TimesMarch 31, 2017Please. Get there in time for the first five minutes. And budget a lot more time than that for the after-movie discussion.
Chris Nashawaty Entertainment WeeklyMarch 31, 2017McDowell, who co-wrote the script with Justin Lader, had an intriguing what-if idea. But it feels like they never figured out what to do with it.
Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.comMarch 31, 2017The entire thing feels like it's happening underwater, sound distorted, movements impeded. A lot happens, but without any urgency inspiring it.
Matthew Gilbert Boston GlobeMarch 30, 2017The movie ... is a dull, nonsensical, sterile mess that left me with a headache and a tinge of annoyance from having wasted my time.
Zachary Doiron Film InquiryApril 21, 2017Even with Mara and Segel in the lead, The Discovery is unable to make a somewhat interesting story; that initial compelling idea is wasted in this dull and stale sci-fi film.
Juan Tolentino Cinema MovilApril 18, 2017A fascinating story, with a rhythm that oscillates between drama and dark humor. [Full review in Spanish]
José Martín El antepenúltimo mohicanoApril 17, 2017A story that could have had more nerve and a more elaborate and imaginative staging, going beyond the grayish tones that dominate the photography of Sturla Brandth Grøvlen. [Full review in Spanish]
David Nusair Reel Film ReviewsApril 15, 2017An intriguing setup in search of a compelling narrative...
Alberto Abuín Blog de cineApril 14, 2017A science fiction film that starts from a very interesting premise: what is behind death. [Full review in Spanish]
Brian Costello Common Sense MediaApril 11, 2017Suicide shown, discussed throughout bleak sci-fi drama.
