Marjorie Prime | Ratings & Reviews

"Michael Almereyda (Experimenter) directed, honouring the play's quiet solemnity and carefully crafted dialogue."

Chicago ReaderChicago Reader

"There is a clever idea here... But the cleverness becomes chatterboxed to death."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

"An elegant, absorbing and stimulating experience."

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Michael Almereyda’s film is so subtly smart, and veiled in such layers of suggestion, that you need to be on your toes from the beginning."

The New YorkerThe New Yorker

"As a sly chamber piece, it reassures and unsettles in equal, exquisitely calibrated measure."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"Marjorie Prime is exquisite - beautiful, intense, shivering with empathy."

VultureVulture

"Like the play by Jordan Harrison it's based on, writer-director Michael Almereyda's film is small in scale, but pulls us in close with its provocative setup."

New York Daily NewsNew York Daily News

"Hamm perfectly plays Walter as a sort of suave, GQ version of HAL 9000, and Davis and Robbins have their most satisfying feature film roles in years."

San Francisco ChronicleSan Francisco Chronicle

"Leave it to Michael Almereyda to make a science fiction movie that consists of little more than scenes of two characters talking in plushly appointed living rooms."

Village VoiceVillage Voice

"The movie lacks ostentation; it appears so simple and unworldly and unhip that one wants to protect it."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Marjorie Prime is very much a chamber piece with flashes of cinematic brilliance."

Vanity FairVanity Fair

"A seamless, unshowy weave of chamber piece and speculative fiction..."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"There's more going on in this movie's 90-plus minutes than in many summer blockbusters nearly twice its length."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Much of the fun of Marjorie Prime is in figuring out where it's going, and why."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"Marjorie Prime in itself feels not unlike Walter’s hologram - almost real and almost human, but not quite flesh and blood."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"Though visually spare and undistinguished, the movie gets revelatory mileage out of Geena Davis..."

Time OutTime Out

"Marjorie Prime feels less true at every turn."

IndieWireIndieWire

"One leaves "Marjorie Prime" pleased to have witnessed these actors at work, and rather wishing you'd got to see them tackle this intimate piece in a warmer, flesh-and-blood theatrical context."

VarietyVariety

"Marjorie Prime is both a sophisticated chamber drama and a captivating contemplation of time, memory and mortality."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"This is the rare recent stage-to-screen adaptation that actually improves on the source."
