Reviews & comments
Time Out
pressDesperately caters to Gen-X junk nostalgia without bothering to think that maybe those Reagan-era kids have grown up a bit.
The Guardian
pressSaving graces, almost: an insanely ripe performance by Peter Dinklage and a surreal moment involving Hall & Oates.
Los Angeles Times
pressSome movies are so interminable that it seems they might never end, while others are assembled with such indifference that you are essentially left waiting for them to start. "Pixels" somehow manages both.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis one-note comedy runs out of gas within an hour and should have been trimmed to a neat 90 minutes.
FilmInk
pressThere is an actual story backbone, told efficiently, with regular laughs, committed performances and a believable throughline on friendship, love and other well-worn themes.
Empire Magazine
pressThere's a certain thrill to seeing humans face off against Frogger. If only as much care had been put into the living characters as the pixelated ones.
