- Excerpt: Matt Johnson’s exploration of the rise and fall of BlackBerry is funny and incisive without the need for company valorization.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: In his third directorial feature, director Matt Johnson delivers an engaging well-crafted film with BlackBerry! Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel give awards-worthy performances in this fascinating yet cautionary tale.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: You’d be forgiven for wondering if this fictionalization would be a full on farce. Yes, it’s a comedy with comedic actors in traditionally serious roles, but it plays more like a Canadian THE SOCIAL NETWORK than a WALK HARD spoof.
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Director Matt Johnson and his wonderful cast frame this story as a goofy comedy, at least until the pathos kicks in and things get unexpectedly poignant.
