- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The fact that it will likely generate strong responses – positively or negatively – is a testament to its effectiveness.
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Not everything is as it seems in Digger, and the out-there approach by Iñárritu and his team falls into the love-it-or-hate-it dichotomy that applies to many of his films. The very fact that everyone involved was willing to dedicate their whole selves to such an off-the-wall concept makes it deserving of attention, even if not everything is a success.

- Excerpt: If the survivors of California’s deadly Camp Fire would think a satire showing the inept complicity of Pacific Gas and Electric leading up to it was funny, this would be the movie for them. An elaborate misfire…
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho
- Excerpt: Digger says more than most by choosing not to say anything at all.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: The movie’s own hubris makes it a fascinatingly grotesque failure.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: Iñárritu’s dark climate satire admittedly takes big swings, offering a new thespian mode for superstar Tom Cruise, but with a dearth of insightful parables and actual laugh lines, its lengthy runtime drags. The sad truth is that reality regularly outpaces satire in end-stage technocratic capitalism, and the cynicism just isn’t all that funny.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Allison Rose @ FlickDirect
- Excerpt: Digger is a wonderfully satirical black comedy with sharp dialogue, terrific performances, and a unique Tom Cruise turn that delivers far more than its trailers suggest.
- [New] | Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: At times convoluted, yet at others displaying clear insight and plenty of dark humour, it makes it abundantly clear who —political leaders, billionaire CEOs, military commanders—are destroying our planet.
