Assisted death is an issue ripe for drama and yet the movie sidesteps every opportunity for depth with the kind of fake solemnity favored by undertakers.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 29, 2021

It's not that Euphoria lacks good intentions or comes off as superficial in its treatment of death and dying. It's just that there's so much potential for grace or humor or despair or horror inherent in its premise.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 27, 2019

Euphoria would have done better to confront and embrace the challenge of an agnostic argument for euthanasia, and there is certainly one to make. Instead, the movie presents its talking points like a checklist.

| Jul 18, 2019

A solemn, heavy-going and foolish drama.

| Original Score: C | Jul 4, 2019

It's a slow-burn drama that lives in the subtext, which is quietly expressed in the actors' eyes. So watching it requires patience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2019

[The] superlative performances from Vikander and Green anchor the proceedings in intimately naturalistic substance that's achingly authentic.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 29, 2019

Euphoria should be called Dyspepsia. It lulls you into a disagreeable stupor clearly labeled "who cares?"

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 28, 2019

Euphoria struggles to be little more than a hum-drum meditation on kicking the bucket.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 28, 2019

Moviegoers can feel the pain of the characters, and not in a good way, in this mournful drama that squanders a first-rate cast.

| Jun 28, 2019

[T]he movie finds ways to inject superficial, artificial conflict into what could be a thoughtful examination...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 28, 2019

Euphoria induces anything but.

| Jun 27, 2019

Langseth doesn't pull any punches with the material, retaining rawness and confusion as emotional breakthroughs are squeezed out of the characters.

| Original Score: B | Jun 27, 2019

Wastes its skin-crawling setup on an extended wallow in resentment and reconciliation.

| Jun 27, 2019

To die or not to die that is the question, And though it is well acted the whole thing is pretty depressing

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 27, 2019

The variety of experience portrayed in "Euphoria" continually tickles the cerebrum as the unique atmosphere forces the guests to engage with both the environment and each other, but it's the raw, unvarnished performances that tug at the heart.

| Oct 23, 2018

Euphoria is undeniably a missed opportunity at creating a drama of frayed sisterhood that feels fresh and unique.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 3, 2018

The story moves from curiously intimate and mysterious but extremely repetitive to utterly unrelatable with its focus on über wealthy people -- a focus that hardly seems necessary given the themes.

| Original Score: C- | Jan 3, 2018

Euphoria quickly settles into a subdued, meandering narrative devoted mostly to the characters' continuing chatter...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 4, 2017

Watching Green play a depressed dying girl is like watching Michael Jordan when he was playing baseball.

| Sep 27, 2017

The failing lies in the script, penned by Langseth, is clunky and overwrought, feeling the need to tell rather than show every hurdle the characters are going through.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 22, 2017
