Demolition Ratings & Reviews
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Who knows where his displaced emotions will take him? Who cares?
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Demolition is a cinematic deconstruction of expectation and cliché, all of which results in a moving marvel of self-actualization I think I just might be in love with.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
There's a beauty in the breakdown, and it's amongst the rubble that Davis finds himself living, rather than enduring, his life.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
There is much to savor here, especially the unforced performance of Judah Lewis -- one more recruit to the terrific roster of younger actors who are streaming into the movies. Yet the film lacks the courage of its affliction.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
The filmmaking is stellar and Gyllenhaal is aces, but for all of its experimentation and predictability, 'Demoliton' turns out to be maddeningly vanilla.

Leonard Maltin
Demolition doesn't suffer from Vallée's fine direction or Gyllenhaal's outstanding performance...
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The best I can say is that it's another tour de force for Gyllenhaal, although his intensity isn't matched by the movie itself.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
The deadpan and sometimes excruciating discomfort on display, played for laughs, calls to mind the early, emotionally subversive films of David O. Russell.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
[A] manipulative downer about a widower who deals with his icy emotional numbness by literally taking a sledgehammer to his old life.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
Amazingly, if awkwardly, the experiment works.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The scenario does contain a couple of unexpected stings in its tale, which almost makes the inevitable redemption payoff play a little less pat than it might have under different circumstances. But not THAT much less pat.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Gyllenhaal broods convincingly, but little else rings true in this contrived drama.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Demolition plays like a failed iteration of a 1970s angry-misfit movie (think Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces), not like the real thing.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
As it stands, Demolition doesn't quite come together, but it's far from a wreck.
MTV
Amy Nicholson
The metaphor is heavy-handed. Still, Demolition has a light touch. Vallée is a good soul who traffics in greeting-card ideas that he offsets with interesting crinkles.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Demolition" is a well-meaning misfire, terribly earnest but unconvincing for all of that.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Gyllenhaal, long one of the most underrated actors, shows once again that he can take on an exceptionally challenging role and bring enormous depth and authenticity.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
This is one of those movies made by smart people about smart people that gives the audience no credit.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Vallée, working from a script by Bryan Sipe, packs in too many symbols and potent signifiers-some are harmless, others are literally sledgehammer heavy. The movie doesn't need all that when it's got Gyllenhaal.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Mr. Gyllenhaal's strong performance still doesn't add enough substance to a film that is hollow at the center. It's mostly the fault of Mr. Sipe, who seems to believe that saying nothing is saying something.
