- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Mickey 17, the newest film from Parasite director Bong Joon Ho, is a long, boring, rambling, confused film that is delusional in its ideas about itself.

- Laura Clifford @
- Excerpt: [Bong Joon Ho’s] adaptation of Edward Ashton’s novel ‘Mickey 7’ starts promisingly, Pattinson going into full dimwitted stooge mode as the object of some very black comedy, but once the plot thickens its strands begin to unravel and the film becomes a weak mash-up of “Snowpiercer” crossed with “Okja.”
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The high point is Robert Pattinson, who delivers two distinct versions of the same person. However, the story descends into a chaos of scattered ideas in the second half.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: [Pattinson is] by far the best part of the film. [His] dual performances showing how different the same person can be when forced to consider the violence committed upon them by outside forces and themselves.
- Jacob Oller @ The A.V. Club
- Excerpt: Mickey 17 is an unwieldy, long-winded, wildly entertaining sci-fi critique of our dehumanizing present.
- Paulo Portugal @ Insider.pt [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: “They were expendable”, assim reza o título do filme do John Ford, realizado há precisamente 80 anos. Isso mesmo, no ano do fim da 2.ª Guerra Mundial. O que isto tem a ver com Mickey 17? Isso. Rigorosamente nada.
- [New] | Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: If there were any doubts left that Bong Joon Ho is the world’s foremost fantastical chronicler of how class continues to hold the human species back from the best version of itself, Mickey 17 should put them to rest. Like Parasite and Snowpiercer before it, Bong’s wackiest sci-fi adventure to date focuses on people at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Through a science fiction premise, the film develops a narrative that combines different styles, genres and tones, and although it is not entirely satisfactory, it still has much to recommend it.
