What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rosalind Eleazar is resoundingly ready for her closeup in Misty Green, a satire of stardom that's as fleeting as Hollywood fame but elevated by its marvelous central performance.

2/5
Eleazar has such a firm grasp of who Misty is, of both how she sins and is sinned against, that Rock’s failures can almost be overlooked. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Eleazar, a Brit who’s best known stateside for the Apple TV series “Slow Horses,” is a revelation. Her Misty has a determined, confident walk, like she’s perpetually ready to march into better lighting, and a gaze that could freeze the L.A. sun. Go to Full Review
Justin Chang The New Yorker 4 days ago
Misty Green is a small yet principled corrective to the larger problem it diagnoses: it’s a terrific vehicle for a Black actress who knows how few terrific or even good vehicles there are for Black actresses. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Everyone wants to go against brand and some professional funnymen can pull it off. Rock the man has gravitas and restraint, as evidenced by the now-infamous Oscar ceremony debacle, but Rock the actor-director is likely best served by serving up the funny. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Rock himself plays that director's role with the dexterity of a standup comic trying to say something important with a smart-ass delivery that occasionally gets in the way of Eleazar's spot-on performance. Go to Full Review

Misty Green has a light quirkiness about it that sets it apart in this exhausting awards season. Go to Full Review

Micheal 1 day ago Phenomenal and realistic, depiction of LA. Completely pulled the curtains back. See more Brian Bitting 1 day ago Great performances, plot, subplot, climax...everything! Acting on a God-tier level! See more jesse v 2 days ago it's just a story about an angst/feisty woman going through the motions of an audition for a movie (which boils down to relationships equals network connections). the production of the movie l, such as cinematography, is great, but it just needed better likeable characters. also, why doesn't misty have a cell phone, where she could have read the emails, with cell service? also I've never heard the term "biracial" replacing "mixed" in today's lexicon. everyone sucks here, even the showbiz people. also why did misty and the guy left UNSCATHED from the car crash?? and why are there racial issues spoken by the car radio sprinkled throughout?? scene pacing for the most part is jumpy. Also what the HECK HAPPENED to the character Jay's personality throughout the movie??? also why was everyone dancing on the plane and why was there a club scene at dubai with dr. Dre? But hey, at least we got to see more angles of Los Angeles this year. also mentioning mental illness health in this film plus homelessness to the point of doing a taboo ad is very weird. See more linda manners Oct 10, 2026 The movie was good and a twist st the end. singing was very good. See more Ken M @KPMontreal 9 hrs ago Why would a strong woman like Misty suddenly settle for being a fitness instructor, or allow herself to be objectified and used an aging and corrupt sexual predator, even if it’s to save her brother? Why are two main female characters shown to be so incapable of discretion in their choice of men? Why is Jordan Green’s character the one who repeatedly saves Misty from herself, teaching her lessons of forgiveness and act as the shining light on her and the world around her? It was a hard watch and I give it 2 stars because of the role of Misty was so well played by someone who was in the middle of a very messy script. See more Moody C @MoodyC 1 day ago Movie was good until Chris Rock showed up. Dude can’t act his way out of a paper bag. His facial expressions are so ridiculous, typical stand up face. Main actress however looks to be a rising star, a true talent! Supporting cast appears to be Rock’s buddies because I never seen so many A listers as supporting from Anna Kendrick to Anthony Anderson to Adam Driver & many more! I been on auditions & stuff happening here is just ridiculous & not plausible at all. Script is so amateurish, filled with cliches & tired bits done so many times. Had I known Rock directs & stars in it, I wud have stayed home & do something fun like scoop cat litter. I only give those 2 stars for main actress. See more Read all reviews
