Critic Reviews for Jessica Forever

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (6)

Jessica Forever isn't primarily about effects or action-it's largely about feelings, and surprisingly delicate feelings at that.

Jonathan Romney
Film Comment Magazine
This film could perhaps be a miniature coming-of-age story, but Jessica Forever tacks on a dull, disposable dystopian plot with a faux femme-power element that feels purely decorative.

NOW Toronto
Jessica Forever sits on the border that separates the art house from the grindhouse, even if it never fully convinces in either sense. But it deserves credit for remaining so stubbornly in between two worlds.

Jordan Mintzer
Hollywood Reporter
A doggedly vague and inert dystopian tale with a total lack of dramatic frisson.

Andrew Wyatt
The Lens
Jessica Forever is a stunning film that uses a dystopian setting to show how the love and support of family, even an adopted family, can tame the savagery within.

Molly Henery
The Blogging Banshee
Moments of brilliance are interspersed with long stretches of emptiness, and though there is an effort here to say something about the destructive influence of boredom it doesn't quite come off.

Jennie Kermode
Eye for Film
The dystopian cinematic landscape is highly populated, but Jessica Forever manages to carve out a unique space.

Hope Madden
Columbus Underground
...the film proves too sparse and thinly conceived for its ambiguously open premise to be remotely intriguing or effective.

...just here to waste your time.

Lena Wilson
The Playlist
Jessica Forever starts up with a promising premise that it abandons after 5 minutes in favor of following the most boring group of characters in recent memory.

Rafael Motamayor
Bloody Disgusting
The contrast between their menacingly macho appearance (due to their muscles and military gear) and their tenderness is endlessly endearing, and the film leans into this for our greatest delight.

An excruciatingly meaningless piece of work...
