Empire Magazine
'Five' proposes an absolutely fascinating dystopia, with several characters facing a problem that surpasses all beliefs. [Full Review in Spanish]

Alberto Abuín
Espinof
Dull, talky, gloomy, pretentious, naive and slow-moving post-apocalyptic survival story of the unfit.

Admirably grave, indelible parable of nuclear unease

Fernando F. Croce
CinePassion
A beautifully realized, semi-pretentious, almost forgotten mini-classic of Atom Age after-the-bomb poetry and paranoia, 'Five' sketches its post-disaster environment with admirable economy; it now seems more like an 'art' film than a genre effort.

John Beifuss
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
For all of his budgetary limitations, it's a strikingly atmospheric and handsome film and [Arch] Oboler creates an eerie sense isolation with simple techniques.

Sean Axmaker
Turner Classic Movies Online
Interesting in many ways, like its director (Arch Oboler), Five falls short of really hitting home.

February 1, 2009 | Rating: 66/100

Brian Webster
Apollo Guide
While survivors with too much time on their hands argue, joke and flirt in the wilderness, enough juice finally kicks in from a found generator for waltzes to start playing on 45s. And not exactly a Hollywood happy ending, but with vintage charm to spare.

Audience Reviews for Five

Dec 09, 2013

Although it's called five, I cannot give it a 5. This apocalypse film is not only depressing, it's boring too. There's no music for the most part, the actors don't know what to do with themselves, nothing really happens, and it doesn't even end. At least it succeeds in depressing the audience.
