- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: BlackBerry chronicles the rise and fall of both the device and the minds behind it. While it has some good performances, its length and one specific performance push it ever-so-slightly down.
- Chris Barsanti @ Slant Magazine
- Excerpt: BlackBerry deflates the personalities at its center in the vein of Mike Judge and Judd Apatow.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Adapting Jacquie McNish’s book, Johnson takes on a sprawling ensemble, multiple locations and the complexities of the tech boom with a fast-paced, indie rock fueled dramedy with a unique Canadian flair.
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A fascinating account of “that thing you owned before you got an iPhone.”
- Nick Kush @ MovieBabble
- 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.
