The Plagiarists Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Aims high in prompting viewers to think about art, perception and privilege, and it's giddily intriguing.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
It's a clever little puzzle, the style one of its moving parts; the questions its poses, like everything else, are not what they first seem to be.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Its subtle mysteries will likely stay with you well after it ends.
Film Inquiry
Andrew Stover
The Plagiarists is peculiar, fairly self-reflexive, and laced with grueling yet equally as rewarding ambiguity that comes from the artists' seat.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
An adventurous comic thumping worth the working over of your sensibilities.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
At least, [The Plagiarists] creators won't have to worry about being plagiarized. Who would want to copy something so uninspired and unattractive like this?
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A work of experimental beauty, asking big questions while slyly subverting audience expectations.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
[Director] Peter Parlow and his crew knock it out of the park.
Polygon
Karen Han
The deeper one delves into The Plagiarists, the more rewarding the film becomes.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The satire's so meta that its whiny protagonists threaten to eclipse the joke.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
A deeply frustrated film that is often frustrating to watch, yet it is most rewarding as a meditation on the obstacles modern day artists must contend with when living paycheck to paycheck.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The Plagiarists ponders authenticity, yet its characters and conflicts feel synthetic.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Its crude imagery and the sharp editing that implicitly contradicts it are deliberate components of a termite-like digging into the permutations of postmodern cultural work.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
[T]hough part of what's fun about its twist is that it's simultaneously so intellectualized and so offhand that Anna ends up spending a significant chunk of time explaining how it constitutes a reversal of expectations.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The Plagiarists is an elusive, alluring, sometimes maddening thing-and not so much a narrative film in conventional terms. Rather, it's a curious micro-budget provocation that offers plenty to chew over.
HuffPost
Brandon Judell
I kept thinking throughout Peter Parlow's cleverly conceived "comedy" that I should be laughing. "I really need a coffee for this!" was my second thought. Then: "Hey, I bet those indieWire critics guffawed into their popcorn when reviewing this."
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It's more interesting as an exercise than a film, but it's funny and clever - even if it's not truly original.
The Playlist
Jonathan Christian
In all honesty, The Plagiarists is a fantastic idea that is irredeemably marred by poor execution.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
A gleeful cultural curiosity fairly crackles off "The Plagiarists," and it is highly contagious.
The Hollywood Reporter
Keith Uhlich
The film improves upon reflection, raising, as it does, some knotty questions about originality in art and in life, as well as provocatively positing that even a copy of a copy of a copy has the potential to move hearts and minds.
