Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: I wouldn’t consider it to be one of the better efforts of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, but it still showcases a lot of the skill and creativity that made them such exciting filmmakers in the first place.
- [New] | Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A film conveniently described as “interesting” and it’s unclear whether you mean it as a compliment.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Just because a tale is science fiction doesn’t mean that plausibility and cohesion are not required. Yet we can see the narrative strings pulling along the puppet-characters, and in an ugly direction.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: More so than most of Moorhead & Benson’s other films in their still-growing filmography, “Synchronic” is an emotionally rewarding experience.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Ambitious and weird and unlike anything you’re likely to encounter anytime soon.
- Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Excerpt: Where I could forget the genre element in [previous films] to latch onto the people therein, the opposite proves true here. While still objectively enough, I [did want] more.
- C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: There could’ve been compelling arguments made in this film about how a Black man can’t escape racism from one era of history to another, but Synchronic never makes a lasting impression in this respect.
- Matt Oakes @
- Excerpt: Sci-fi indie filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have done it again with the trippy, drug-fueled time travel experiment ‘Synchronic’, which benefits from a strong leading man and an arresting balance of body horror and temporal experimentation.
- Eddi Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Synchronic is one of the best films of the year, another corker of a sci-fi thriller from writing/directing duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson.
- Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Reviews
- Excerpt: Superficial.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: The characters are likable, their situations dramatic and relatable, and they’re all set up for a speculative blast that will blow the hinges off. The problem is that when the sci-fi twist arrives, it’s basic and contrived, and not weird enough to compensate for its unbelievability.
