- 80The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonThe New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonSurprisingly, the film goes much further than expected. Streaming services are loaded with documentaries about scammy internet-era companies, but “MoviePass, MovieCrash” finds the barely told story in all the juicy facts.
- 80IGNRobert DanielsIGNRobert DanielsMoviePass, MovieCrash is an abundantly entertaining, easily digestible rendering of a ‘too crazy to be true’ story that looks at the turbulent, short life of the company from the perspective of its creators, its destroyers, and the rank-and-file workers who could do nothing but watch it all go down in flames.
- 75The Daily BeastAllegra FrankThe Daily BeastAllegra FrankBy re-contextualizing MoviePass as the story of Black innovation thwarted by reckless privilege, it makes MoviePass’ swift downturn delicious and even comedic for the right reasons instead of the wrong ones.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperDirected with just the right amount of stylistic flair (including terrific and helpful graphics) by the talented Muta’Ali, “MoviePass, MovieCrash” is a worthy companion to documentaries such as “Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga,” “WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn,“ and the Fyre Festival documentaries.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergThe Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergBy the time the mainstream world came to embrace MoviePass, we all already knew it was doomed, and I wish the documentary had illustrated what the alternative might have been.
- 63RogerEbert.comClint WorthingtonRogerEbert.comClint WorthingtonThe doc struggles to land on whether MoviePass was a predetermined failure or something that was failed, and the lack of participation in many of the key players for the latter hurts its ability to probe deeper.
