The Rehearsal Ratings & Reviews
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Cidnya Silva
The Rehearsal is a multi-layered comedy that will certainly make you uncomfortable at times. It will beg the question of how far you are willing to go to understand another person.
The Nation
Vikram Murthi
The twist with The Rehearsal is that, despite the preponderance of Fielder's deadpan jokes, it resembles a psychological drama more than it does a comedy...
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
It is a film that will leave people talking, I have no doubt. Hopefully one of those discussions is about why it took Alison Maclean so long to make another film. 18 years is too long to wait.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The diffuse nature of the narrative, the way in which the film sometimes seems reluctant to focus, makes it something other than the simpler, more direct, more obvious movie that it might have been-a spectacle of the pedagogic urge to destroy.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging and intriguing with a solid performance by the charismatic, underrated Kerry Fox.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
A sensitive, thoughtful, often provocative movie that nevertheless feels like a missed opportunity.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Feels like a handful of sketches in need of more connection.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Your mileage may vary, but for myself "The Rehearsal" delivers a good hour and a half of engagement and intrigue only to top it off with a cherry that left me asking "Really?"
NPR
Scott Tobias
Maclean asks tough questions about the craft of acting and the behavior of administrators who would rather collect donor checks for new facilities than do the right thing for their students.
Film Journal International
David Noh
This affecting story of one lad's personal and artistic growth is one of the very best acting-school films.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Such a hodgepodge of arthouse references, arch distancing effects, and emotionally vacant wide-screen compositions that one could easily mistake it for an awkward debut film.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
Filmed in New Zealand with a Kiwi director and performers, this "Rehearsal" is "Fame" without the Hollywood glitz.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
The Rehearsal is much like any coming-of-age melodrama, and while its meat is a little overdone, its intro and finale bookends do make up for a lack of flavor in between.
The Young Folks
Nathanael Hood
It is, in a word, repugnant.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
The storyline becomes as messy and nuanced as some of the best YA fiction tackling discomforting themes.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
A civics lesson in the film tethers a promising tale of artistic toil to the strictures of melodrama.
The Playlist
Noel Murray
A keenly observed coming-of-age drama.
IndieWire
Michael Nordine
"The Rehearsal" can't help but follow its characters as their actions become more irrational and occasionally overwrought, but like them it's redeemed by a simple yet bravura closing sequence
