Mainstream Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Once "Mainstream" locks into its purpose - showing the vapidity, cruelty and calculation of certain YouTube stars - it soars.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Gia Coppola's sophomore feature effort is a memorable, jarring satire that could help teens think critically about the personalities who influence their actions, attitudes, and self-worth.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Skewering the shallow and fickle nature of viral fame, this edgy satire ultimately lacks the courage to follow through on its convictions.
Sarah's Backstage Pass
Sarah Knight Adamson
I enjoyed the film, as it kept me guessing while engaged. I can recommend all seeing it 17+, as it is clearly rated R. Despite our frustration with social media, the fact remains that it is powerful, and it can't and shouldn't be ignored.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
Feels mortifyingly dated and out-of-touch, a criminal flaw for a movie whose entire identity is based on trying to hold up a mirror to its audience.
Reel Rundown
Chris Sawin
Mainstream feels like this bold and heartless statement on the social media age that is terrifyingly accurate. Andrew Garfield is a force of nature; destructive, powerful, unpredictable, and absolutely hypnotic in between.
Decider
John Serba
Isn't just shrill and grating, it's also irrelevant.
Emily Wheeler Movie Ops
Emily Wheeler
Mainstream ... is here to pass judgement, and it hands down a broad, overreaching ruling that isn't specific enough to chill.
The Armchair Auteur
Dominic Griffin
Conceived as Network for millennials or maybe A Face in The Crowd for the TikTok generation, Mainstream shows more promise from writer/director Gia Coppola, even if this one loses steam far too fast.
AV Club
Katie Rife
A more incisive film would have something to say about using empty spectacle to comment on empty spectacle.
Awards Radar
Matthew Passantino
Garfield has settled in nicely to a career, where he isn't afraid to take chances and his performance as Link is everything it should be: Damaged, annoying, noxious and desperate.
RogerEbert.com
Isaac Feldberg
[Mainstream] drills down hard into its subject, jettisoning Coppola's previous restraint in favor of a more confrontational and graceless hyperactivity.
Movie Show Plus
Tom Santilli
Mainstream is interesting for a moment, but it's just one swipe away from being lost and forgotten forever...a film about our time that feels past its prime upon arrival.
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
The strangest thing about Mainstream (and it is a strange, strange film) is just how out of touch it feels.
Slant Magazine
Steven Nguyen Scaife
The film has the knowing swagger of something on the cutting edge but none of the self-awareness to realize it's late to the party.
Film Inquiry
Morris Yang
Mainstream hardly qualifies as a satisfactory, much less intelligent response to the media-saturated simulacra it lounges very comfortably within.
The Playlist
Guy Lodge
A big, blunt, sanctimonious satire of YouTuber idolatry that, for all its bug-eyed, pin-balling energy, never feels remotely ahead of the curve.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
It's a messy, childish scrawl of a film, but it is high on energy.
IndieWire
Nicholas Barber
The plot is just as predictable as the themes. Everyone watching will know where it's going, although the viewer's imagined version of the screenplay will likely be shrewder than the one written by Coppola and Tom Stuart.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Soon becomes the very thing it sets out to expose: a glittery, jangly image machine that manufactures little of actual substance, except the conclusion that social media = bad.
