Absurd yet anchored in knotty real-world themes, The Day Shall Come adds another bleakly funny satire to director/co-writer Christopher Morris' filmography.

Witty and surreal, yes, savagely satirical and often chilling, but it's not really rolling-in-the-aisles material. Oct 15, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The Day Shall Come has a disappointingly similar approach, while tackling a much less edgy and altogether easier-to-trounce subject. Oct 13, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's a diverting scenario, though maybe it doesn't quite have the "danger - high voltage" thrill of Morris's other works. Oct 11, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Day Shall Come isn't prime Morris, but it's definitely not a total bust, either. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Day Shall Come may draw from reality, but it fails to reflect it back to us with enough force to make us stop in our tracks. Oct 10, 2019 | Rating: 2/5

Morris has already proved he can do lacerating mockery. At a time when we hear ad nauseam that current events are "beyond satire", making people feel something may be the greater achievement. Oct 9, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

...lacks enough empathy for Moses and his family to create discomfort rather than laughter...The Day Shall Come feels shallow and misguided, without being funny enough to overcome that lack of understanding. Jan 21, 2020 | Full Review…

It's a case of distance guiding the film, with little to be gleaned about the intersection of race, economics, and religion. Jan 16, 2020 | Full Review…
