Critic Reviews for Breaking News in Yuba County

All Critics (28) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (25)

  • Taylor can't juggle the different tones, and as Sue tries to stay a step ahead of the crooks and the cops as her lies threaten to unravel, the film's attempts at societal critique feel facile.

    Tim Grierson

    Screen International

  • The fine cast deserves better.

    Allison Shoemaker

    AV Club

  • This is beyond terrible.

    February 18, 2021 | Rating: 0/4 | Full Review…

    Randy Myers

    San Jose Mercury News

  • With a background in campy movies like "Ma," you'd think Taylor would just lean into the garish trashiness of it all. But "Breaking News in Yuba County" is afraid to go there, and so you should be too.

    Ryan Lattanzio

    indieWire

  • A weak imitation of much better movies.

    February 12, 2021 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

    Robert Levin

    Newsday

  • As it fumbles through its unwieldy mix of crime-caper farce, social commentary and black comedy, the genre it most solidly nails is the one that poses the burning question "Why did so many accomplished actors sign on to this?"
