One of the year's true indie gems and most under-appreciated films.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Dec 26, 2022

gamely entertaining ... The biggest problem with 18 1/2 is keeping track of the Watergate figures. ... 18 1/2 might be enjoyable for history buffs, but others may wonder what the fuss is about.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 23, 2022

Steadfastly refusing to choose just one genre, but maintaining a compelling and unique tone throughout, 18½ captures just how ludicrous and doomed America truly is.

| Aug 16, 2022

What matters to 18½ isn’t the exact vibe of the era as it is the greater satire.

| Jul 21, 2022

The premise makes it intriguing enough to stick around for, and while 18 ½ tries to blend conventions of both comedies and political thrillers, the former only lands occasionally.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 15, 2022

Plays out with the same mixture of import and absurdity which marked the scandal as a whole.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2022

Mirvish’s excellent cast approaches this sequence like a one-act play, swinging at every curveball their fellow actors throw.

| Jul 8, 2022

Mirvish's entertaining film is a sleek, well-constructed production.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 8, 2022

A screwball dramedy that'll serve as a fine calling card for star Willa Fitzgerald.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2022

Sometimes a really great idea for a film can be hampered severely or even undone completely in its execution.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 6, 2022

It’s entertaining enough and you never know where the story is headed, but it doesn’t quite hold together.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2022

If you’re a buff looking for a wonky take on Watergate, that’s not really what this is. But it’s entertaining, and it leads up to a couple of satisfying payoffs.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 16, 2022

Writer/director Dan Mirvish crafts a film that defines its own confident frequency.

| Jun 13, 2022

Yes, another Watergate movie, but this one's fun and totally fictional.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 9, 2022

This explosive, smart film is a must-see.

| Jun 9, 2022

I liked this! It is weird, small, and unexpected.

| Jun 7, 2022

It's got a lot on its mind for a small film, but if you can get into its groove, it's quite an impressive little gem.

| Jun 7, 2022

18½ is a very funny piece of “What if?” storytelling.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2022

This feature is [Dan Mirvish's] best-directed work and also his most Altman-like.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 3, 2022

"18 1/2" plays fast and loose with history, but what should have been a fun "what if?" instead asks another question: "why?"

| Original Score: C- | Jun 3, 2022
