Fahrenheit 451 Ratings & Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
When fake news can affect real elections, there is no better time to consider the lessons of this modernized "Fahrenheit 451."
Thrillist
Karen Han
HBO's Fahrenheit 451 is horrifically beautiful. It feels both divorced from and intrinsically tied to its source material, the 1953 dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Where it truly falls short is in capturing the ways that literature helps us define our humanity and our individuality and life's meaning.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
And that's the problem with Fahrenheit 451: It works so ferociously to be relevant that it forgets to make sense.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
Fahrenheit 451's main problem stems from the fact that it jams a series' worth of story into 100 minutes.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Filmmaker Ramin Bahrani's Fahrenheit 451 is a construction of paranoia and fear, curiosity and hope, and in some scenes its themes are almost overwhelmingly sincere.
Observer
Brandon Katz
The depth [of Fahrenheit 451] helps texture everything that is present and brings Ray Bradbury's world to life before your eyes.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
It's a testament to [Michael B.] Jordan's skill as an actor that these scenes are remotely palatable, given the shaky emotional scaffolding on which they are built.
AV Club
Danette Chavez
As the film unfolds, it's hard to escape the feeling that it's been tailor-made to tap into our fears and indignation.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Proving you can't judge a book -- or movie -- by its cover, Fahrenheit 451 turns out to be considerably less than the sum of its parts.
NPR
Glen Weldon
The characters' tendency to speak in aphorisms is likely meant to convey this fallen world's reliance on propaganda as cultural currency, but its blunt polemicism effectively flattens the characters in ways they can't recover from.
Wall Street Journal
Dorothy Rabinowitz
No one expects in a 21st-century film version, an hour and a half in length, anything approaching the subtlety and character that went into Bradbury's novel. Still one might have asked-of a film titled "Fahrenheit 451"-for more than a one-note rant.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Just read the book, folks.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Despite the timeliness of a story about a government abolishing facts and rewriting history, the film never really jars. It has next to no emotional punch...
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
As an attempt to really bother an audience, Fahrenheit 451 is a failure; at best, it's a mildly irritating waste of some major talent.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Fahrenheit 451 represents every culturally bastardizing tendency it pretends to decry.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
Mr. Jordan (Creed) puts flesh on Montag's conflict... But the script does little to give him inner life beyond some flashbacks. Mr. Shannon's imperious enforcer lacks the eccentric spark he brings to his best roles.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Fahrenheit 451 rarely feels imminent, even as it aims for a modern truth. Thankfully, the movie is always watchable.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Flat, slow and turgid, no one - neither Jordan nor Shannon - can stir this gluepot.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Matt Zoller Seitz
Long stretches of Fahrenheit are about as subtle as a labor leaflet or a soapbox sermon, and it makes no apology for this aspect of its method.
