Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"A bewildering mess..."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Locked Down is almost worse than a lockdown..."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"(An) irritating heist comedy."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Slapdash..."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"This movie would be DOA without Ejiofor and Hathaway’s romantically volatile chemistry."

DeciderDecider

"We could use a pandemic-era romantic comedy, but Locked Down isn't it..."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"It feels stagy, claustrophobic, and overacted."

Associated PressAssociated Press

"Locked Down ultimately is a love story and a good one too."

Film ThreatFilm Threat

"The script... piles cliches and stereotypes atop ludicrously rickety plotting..."

The New YorkerThe New Yorker

"Must have seemed like quite the wheeze when greenlit, but now has all the appetising novelty of your eighth Zoom of the day."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

"(Locked Down) is part romantic drama, part heist caper, and has the entertainment value of neither..."

Daily TelegraphDaily Telegraph

"The film deserves total lockdown, preferably in a steel vault, somewhere deep underground."

Daily MailDaily Mail

"An overwritten, underplayed and nauseating mistake..."

The TimesThe Times

"It's far too dry and meandering for an entertaining bit of fluff, but delirious enough to capture the mood of the moment."

IndependentIndependent

"Torturous misfire..."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"Supremely annoying."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

Slant MagazineSlant Magazine

"A crushing miscalculation on every level..."

PastePaste

"Hathaway’s comic timing has become a marvel in recent years, but Ejiofor, too, exults in the chance to throw off his usual gravity."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"I’m wary in general of making any definitive pronouncements about Locked Down, whose charms and irritations (and it has its share of both) are largely a matter of timing and perspective."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"Mildly watchable..."

CNNCNN

"Maybe this all works, accidentally or not, as a time capsule of very contemporary irritation."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"COVID-19 serves as a fitting backdrop for an amiable romp about the freedoms we take for granted..."

IndieWireIndieWire

"At times, generates an uneasy mixture of intimacy and showiness, yet it’s a kick to watch a couple of actors who are this terrific pull out all the stops."
