Critic Reviews for Distorted

All Critics (11) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (9)

Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that's never scary enough to justify her performance.

Noel Murray
Los Angeles Times
Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings.

John Higgins

[Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity.

January 24, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
Distorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack.

Alex Arabian
Film Inquiry
A frustratingly terrible paranoia thriller, Distorted manages to waste a potentially intriguing premise and the star power of Christina Ricci and John Cusack.

Niall Browne
Movies in Focus
"Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal.

June 28, 2018 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Brian Orndorf
Blu-ray.com
All told, Distorted doesn't entirely waste but also doesn't do much justice to a premise that, in the right hands, could have elicited more thrills, more relevance, or, at least, more obvious interest in its own ideas.

June 26, 2018 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Nick Rocco Scalia
Film Threat
A would-be psychological thriller that manages to be both boring and goofy...generates tedium rather than tension.

June 25, 2018 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Frank Swietek
One Guy's Opinion
While the premise is mildly intriguing, the film's reliance on visual gimmickry never serves to establish consistent suspense before the whole thing runs off the rails in the incoherent final act.

Todd Jorgenson
Cinemalogue
Rapid-fire disturbing images in paranoid thriller.

June 22, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Michael Ordoña
Common Sense Media
A slick and gripping psychological thriller that fizzles out by the end. Christina Ricci's raw, convincingly moving performance is one of the best of her career which somewhat compensates for the screenplay's lack of emotional depth.

Audience Reviews for Distorted

Jul 03, 2018

The idea is that through state-of-the-art invasive mind control we can be made to perform acts against our will. Not a bad starting point, but the follow-through is simply all smoke and no fire. Blah.
