The Big Ask Ratings & Reviews
Battleship Pretension
Mat Bradley-Tschirgi
Bound to spark conversation, The Big Ask takes the hard road of playing a raw comedic premise in shades of gray.
Three Imaginary Girls
Amie Simon
You can see each emotion play out clearly, and yeah: you really, really, really, get to love these characters - and in some cases, hate them.
The Film Stage
John Fink
The problem is we've seen this all before and then some; to call this trite would be an understatement.
Under the Radar
Zach Hollwedel
It's hard to tell what's most dislikeable about this film.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A strong ensemble is essential to a tale of a friendship in crisis.
Film Threat
Jessica Baxter
The Big Ask is obviously not the feel-good movie of the year, but it sure feels awesome to watch such a good movie. There's more than one way to skin a sex comedy.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
The Big Ask begins with a loose cannon of a premise, but the resulting damage is precise in its effect and power.
Examiner.com
Travis Hopson
Explores deep psychological questions by wrapping them in the promise of unusual sexual hijinks
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It features a central protagonist who's simply not likable, supporting characters who serve as little more than plot devices for its lead, and a flat tone that somehow seems to soften even its most likable stars.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
"The Big Ask" is a premise in search of a movie, one that co-directors Thomas Beatty and Rebecca Fishman never quite find.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Beatty and Fishman botch their third act payoff, but The Big Ask remains a compellingly exploratory odyssey into desperate acts of communication, with a side of sexual awkwardness.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
Despite strong work by Melanie Lynskey and Zachary Knighton, this so-called dark comedy is a big disappointment.
