Borderline is nearly unwatchable.

| Apr 8, 2025

for those seeking a sharper take on obsession or celebrity culture, or even just looking for compromised thrills, Borderline will likely feel like an opportunity narrowly missed.

| Apr 3, 2025

Borderline is carefully thought-out and laser-focused on the simplicity of its framework while remaining determined to squeeze every last drop of inspiration from it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 31, 2025

Borderline is mostly a fun mess of a movie that had the potential to be something better if the filmmaker had taken things a little more seriously, even the humor.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2025

Different kind of home invasion film.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 23, 2025

Nicholson is locked into playing up the delusional nature of his character, and honestly, this should be a good sign of what we can expect from him.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 20, 2025

Brimming with hilarious comedy delivered by two fantastic performances, Borderline is an incredibly fun watch that, despite feeling messy and over-saturated, delights regardless with its talented cast and humorous script.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 18, 2025

Overall, Borderline is sharp, fun, and a witty little thriller that is pretty straight forward. But it is Weaving and Nicholson’s performances that carry the entire film and makes it something even better than a satisfying kill in a horror movie.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 17, 2025

There's a nugget of a good movie in here, along with a handful of genuine laughs, but it's too uneven and unfocused, with the film often getting away from first-time director Jimmy Warden.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 17, 2025

Despite an intriguing premise, this film’s miscalculated decision to double down on being set in the ‘90s by also being a Tarantino knockoff sets it up for unnecessary failure.

If you're curious about seeing this movie, Ray Nicholson plays a little freak and Samara Weaving sings Celine Dion...what more could you want?

| Mar 16, 2025

Samara Weaving and Ray Nicholson do their best to carry Borderline, but it proves to be just another copycat of better genre movies with no identity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2025

Over the border and to the moon crazy.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 16, 2025

"Borderline" allows Nicholson and Weaving to make a feast out of their characters (especially Nicholson) but the script is a comedy of errors that wreaks havoc on all involved.

| Mar 14, 2025

... shows flashes of freewheeling audacity but despite some quirky, cringe-inducing laughs, it’s never grounded enough to generate the necessary tension.

| Mar 14, 2025

The performances are solid, the setup is fun, and Penny (Alba Baptista) nearly steals the whole show, but Borderline never fully embraces the madness it promises.

| Original Score: 69% | Mar 14, 2025

Warden’s film is rather bold in its construction, subverting the expectation of how you would expect this sort of story to be framed, and stylishly infused with both musical gusto and a good number of gags that find their mark.

| Original Score: 6.9/10 | Mar 14, 2025

A would-be potential comedy thriller that suffers from tonal inconsistencies.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 14, 2025

The increasingly ridiculous situation and unhinged performances keep Borderline entertaining but the script is as shallow as a teenage idol.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2025

Borderline is a sly performance piece that both continues Samara's career homestretch and fortifies Ray's star status
