Critic Reviews for The Intervention

All Critics (51) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (11)

  • The Intervention doesn't play around with its familiar format enough to get too excited about it.

    Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

    Autostraddle

  • Despite her script's omissions - we learn little about where these affluent people come from, their occupations or how they know one another - Ms. DuVall juggles the emotional dynamics with fluid editing and light comic touches.

    August 30, 2016 | Full Review…

    Andy Webster

    New York Times

  • The script wobbles between heavy-handed and touching, but the result is a pleasantly nostalgic throwback that's saved from its copy-cat tendencies by charismatic actors.

    Kevin P. Sullivan

    Entertainment Weekly

  • If DuVall's purpose was to provide a snapshot of her generation, she should have sharpened her focus.

    Susan Wloszczyna

    RogerEbert.com

  • As an unfussy, dryly amusing and sincere look at men and women pondering emotional pivots in their lives, it's plenty likable.

    Robert Abele

    Los Angeles Times

  • Wanders from scene to scene until arriving at some pretty implausible conflict resolution.
