You long for something explosive to happen and it doesn't, which is surely part of the point that Hausner is making, but Little Joe is at times the cinematic equivalent of taking some heavy mood stabilisers. February 11, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Hausner aims to convince us that the open-endedness at stake is a productive one, but it's difficult to shake the feeling of having been deceived and manipulated by Little Joe when the closing credits roll. January 31, 2020 | Full Review…

With this strange but intriguing concept, Hausner makes a strong commentary on materialism and technology's impact on human life. January 19, 2020 | Full Review…

It'd be nice to see Hausner try this one again with a bit more depth and discipline, but as is, it's a bit of missed opportunity that happens to have its moments. January 17, 2020 | Full Review…

Little Joe more closely resembles a shrewd music video or a knowing tech commercial than a prestige genre exercise. December 20, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Just as the formal and technical aspects of Little Joe ensure its consistent mystery and surprise, so too does the film's genre fluidity guarantee that no one theme is overinvested with meaning. December 13, 2019 | Full Review…

By unfolding dispassionately, it wants audiences to think more than they react, but what it will ultimately inspire is disengagement. December 11, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
