Buffaloed Reviews
Buffalo’ed is far from a scathing take on capitalism but revealing in its attitudes, as it ultimately punishes an enterprising young woman for her unyielding determination.
| Jul 28, 2023
A movie that, while certainly not endorsing the criminal activities of its characters, never judges them for it, and there’s something much more righteous about Peg fleecing fools out of their money rather than a Jordan Belfort doing the same.

Buffaloed is a fun flick that proves, once again, that Zoey Deutch is a force to be reckoned with.
| Original Score: B | Mar 8, 2023
It’s rare for a film to feature a female lead brimming with temerity that’s full of so much piss and vinegar you may be afraid she will spin off her own axis. Buffaloed has it here with Deutch, who gives a career-best performance.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022
It works far more often than it doesn’t, mostly due to Deutch’s rock-solid central performance that carries the film even through its roughest patches.
| Original Score: 7/10 | May 13, 2022
Wexler delivers a fast-paced and playful 90 minutes, placing the weight of the material on Deutch's shoulders.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 21, 2022
Over-the-top black-comedy crime-caper. Buffaloed is broad, but affectionately so, and patches over the goofier spots with an air of madcap verite
| Jul 2, 2021
Buffaloed is recommended viewing for Deutch's absorbing and knowingly self-absorbed lead performance alone.

Proof that Zoey Deutch can carry a film...
| Dec 30, 2020
Zoey Deutch gives a fine performance in a film that mostly aims to please. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2020
Deutch is still devilishly charismatic as the ruthless anti-heroine.
| Sep 30, 2020
While it doesn't necessarily rise above its competition, Buffaloed shows more than enough of its own flavour, emotion and redemptive acting pedigree to stand alongside them.
| Original Score: 15/20 | Sep 8, 2020
[Zoey] Deutch does so much with so little, going-for-broke with a fearlessness that often elevates both the material she's working with and the ensemble around her.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2020
The tone of Buffaloed is very uneven: It starts off as a dark comedy, and then turns giddy and almost sentimental in the end.
| Jul 11, 2020
Reality meets comedy here. They get both right
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 25, 2020
Deploys some obvious jokes and a predictable twist, but works its way to a solid punchline that makes living in post-capitalist times almost funny.
| Jun 19, 2020
Kind of interesting, a comedy thriller writ small, but Deutch is entirely entertaining as a gifted upstart.
| Jun 12, 2020
Zoey Deutch is a star, and watching Buffaloed, you get the sense that one day the rest of the world will catch up to her.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2020
Mostly, "Buffaloed" taketh away 95 minutes of your life.
| Original Score: D | Feb 28, 2020
There's not a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, but it's a fun story to watch unfold.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Feb 28, 2020
