Mute disappoints in the worst way, by evoking only bothersome indifference.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 14, 2022

A frustrating, bewildering and nonsensical disappointment that offers little that feels new and fails to craft a mystery that sparks intrigue in a world that feels hazily defined.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2020

I see it as a positive that films like this can be released and they won't please everyone, but are at least experimental and interesting. I would encourage people to give it a chance, particularly if you have enjoyed modern-day twists on noir.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 2, 2020

Unfortunately, the Alexander Skarsgaard vehicle could not be more different from its predecessor...

| Apr 18, 2020

Mute gets so caught up in the mystery aspect of the story that all logic swirls together with nonsense resulting in this muddy sci-fi diarrhea with head scratching character turns and questionable reveals that aren't fully explained.

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

Good performances, a stimulating production design work and a remarkable third act. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 27, 2019

It gives the impression that the project is conclude before screenplay studies and some quality control that could solve the mistakes. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 27, 2019

Sadly, the interesting cyberpunk backdrop isn't paired with a story that delivers any excitement, suspense or thrills to speak of.

| Apr 16, 2019

Skarsgård is a fine actor, but between his lack of spoken dialogue and a character written with as much personality as the bedpost he wields in combat, he's seldom engaging.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 9, 2019

Duncan Jones tried to make something compelling with Mute... but his movie is just a disappointing mess. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 27, 2019

We're honestly trying to offer something constructive and work out what went wrong with Mute. Maybe Jones just needs to put down the pen, stay behind the camera, and keep an eye on the big picture.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 16, 2019

For as debased and violent as Mute is, it's also incredibly cerebral and Netflix encourages the kind of online social engagement that cultivates discussion.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 11, 2018

It won't be for everyone, but it's something strangely compelling to watch.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 11, 2018

For too long it just feels like we're watching a very compelling detective story being inexplicably interrupted at regular intervals by a series of disconnected cyberpunk character-vignettes.

| Original Score: 2.5 | Oct 31, 2018

There are great ideas and some incredible design on display that have to contend with aspects of the script and story that might've been better excised.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2018

But every time a writer-director with the name recognition of Jones delivers a work of this level, it only serves to prove those risk-averse studio executives right.

| Aug 28, 2018

Slow and listless, lacking tension or a sense of danger, it's a pastiche with aspirations to being a movie that ends up a very expensive pageant.

| Aug 24, 2018

If you binged Altered Carbon and are still craving more of this dark and gritty world filled with lots of rain and neon lights, then Netflix has a gift for you.

| Aug 14, 2018

"Mute" is by no means unwatchable, but ultimately inspires us to re-watch the movies that inspired it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 19, 2018

If films like this stop being funded altogether in favour of crowd-pleasers rather than crowd-challengers, we're damned. That's your most plausible dystopian future, folks.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 1, 2018
