The Box Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Kelly treats what is essentially a Stanford University psychology experiment with inflated somberness.
Film.com
Laremy Legel
Is it an odd film? Certainly. Will it creep you out more than it engages you? Probably. Should we be rewarding folks who are willing to step out of bounds and make us think? Definitely.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Think twice about giving into foolish curiosity and leave The Box's button untouched.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
Whatever you do, do not accept delivery of The Box, a package that doesn't know where it is going nor how to get there.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Kelly has talent, but for his next movie, he might try coming down to earth and forgetting about the people who control the lightning.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
I think Kelly is a very inventive writer and I think he is his own worst enemy behind the camera.
At the Movies
A.O. Scott
I think that Richard Kelly, from one film to the next, has gone in some very interesting and sometimes puzzling directions.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Kelly, as he did in Donnie Darko, avoids obvious scare techniques. Instead, he makes the bizarre, the surreal, and the frightening emerge from normal reality.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
The thriller fluctuates wildly in tone and levels of exposition, featuring some effective concepts and scenes, but just as many moments that are poorly constructed or unnecessary.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
The first forty-five minutes does stay straightforward and (in the best possible sense of the word) conventional. Then all kinds of crazy break out.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
After a slightly promising start, this great-looking but ultimately deeply confusing and unscary sci-fi/horror opus turns into a quite boring rehash of M. Night Shyamalan's post-Signs films.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Sincere and sinister and inevitably ambitious.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If you make a preposterous movie that isn't boring, I count that as some kind of a triumph.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Some directors, it must be said, only have one really good movie in them. We're starting to worry that Richard Kelly may be among this select group.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This picture moved me and made me think, and while the items on the filmmaker's mind aren't exactly earth shattering to me they were deeply affecting all the same.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Instead of sweeping you along, The Box just sits there like something unclaimed at lost and found. Damaged goods.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Kelly tries to gather so many ideas under this movie's umbrella: He has strong ideas about the necessity of compassion in everyday life. He wonders what awaits us after death. But he can't flesh out all of these ideas properly, or even haphazardly.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Have you ever actually tried watching paint dry? A sloth walk? Grass grow? You can have all the thrills with none of the chills courtesy of The Box, the painfully sluggish new sci-fi morality play from Donnie Darko creator Richard Kelly.
