Union County Ratings & Reviews
DwightBrownInk.com
Dwight Brown
There's something very authentic and noteworthy about writer/director Adam Meeks' take on the opioid epidemic.
Discussing Film
Anna Miller
Will Poulter shines in Union County, which avoids the pitfalls of other dramas about drug addiction by featuring real-life recovering addicts and giving them the chance to share their own stories.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
Doesn't quite rise above being just another quietly competent indie drama, but it will certainly resonate with viewers who personally know someone who's been through the system.
IGN Movies
Matt Donato
Union County is an impressively understated portrayal of the highs and lows of battling addiction, noteworthy for its solemn authenticity.
Next Best Picture
Ema Sasic
While the film may not dazzle as a whole, star Will Poulter delivers a nuanced performance that handles this story with care and respect.
CBR
Kevin L. Lee
It calls to mind films like Debra Granik's Leave No Trace, where the supporting characters are kind, loving people who genuinely want to help the person who's struggling, but we come to know that this is bigger than any of them.
Collider
Therese Lacson
At times, it's unclear whether Meeks wants to tell a general story about addiction in America or Cody's own unique story.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The testimonials from real people who are getting their life back, along with Poulter's perfect performance, power this beautiful drama that has an electrified real docudrama feel to it.
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
A deeply empathic picture, powerful in its attention to detail, and still capable of real hope.
The Contending
Frank J. Avella
(Director) Meeks also has the added boon of the incredibly underrated actor Will Poulter anchoring the film with a thoughtful, moving, understated turn that ripples with complexities.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
This is an admirably serious-minded attempt to go inside a troubled community that most of us would go out of our way to avoid -- showing compassion for a struggle that can frequently be one step forward, two steps back.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Union County's meditative look at the American opioid crisis has a lot on its mind. Meeks does his best to capture Americana while giving Union County a rust-belt visual palette.
Silver Screen Riot
Matt Oakes
An observant drama about the victims of addiction and the grueling road to recovery that admirably focuses on the people behind the statistics.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
Most movies about recovery from addiction fall into familiar plot patterns of struggle, relapse and redemption - but what makes "Union County" one of the better examples of this genre is how [the film] digs into the true-life details of such battles.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
While 'Union County' might not add enough new to the conversation to make it really stand out, it does remind us of the humanity that should really be all that matters.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
That it features a great performance from one of today's most interesting actors[ Will Poulter] makes it that much more memorable.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The make-or-break ingredient turns out to be British actor Will Poulter, whose immersive commitment dovetails beautifully with Meeks' unvarnished sensibility.
IndieWire
Katie Rife
Union County doesn't completely bypass addiction-drama clichés. But its detailed, humanistic approach successfully creates a realistic world that supports its muted storytelling.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
At every turn, the film earns every emotional, lived-in development, instilling this slice-of-life portrait with such a quiet humanity that it can feel like you're sitting at the tables and in the meeting rooms along with all the characters.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Follows festival tradition by featuring a stellar breakthrough performance from a well-known actor-in this case, Will Poulter's sterling turn as a junkie caught in a prison of his own making.
