Critics Consensus

Sadie Sink manages to rise above the schlock in a doomed rock-opera that sadly loses its purpose and steam while rambling to the finish line.

Ben Travis

Empire Magazine

For all its originality, O’Dessa can’t help but get tangled up in its own mythology, dragged down by a romance that never sizzles.

Rated: 2/5

Is a cliché turned on its head still a cliché? “O’Dessa” will keep you wondering, and that counts for something.

A rock musical like 'O’Dessa' only works if it sufficiently rocks, and 'O’Dessa' somewhat rocks.

O'Dessa is a bold, cyberpunk musical with vibrant visuals with a catchy soundtrack.

Rated: 8/10

Exclaim!

Perhaps O'Dessa's target audience is aimed at theatre kids in the middle of a '90s phase, but not many others.

Rated: 4/10

Cinematic Words of a Chaotic Gemini (Substack)

As much as the final destination is an overdrawn climax, the performances, the visuals, and the eclectic soundtrack in O'Dessa make the journey through Satylite City a memorable one.

Rated: B

This film proved to be a compelling experience layered with both strengths and shortcomings. It offered a poignant reflection on the cost of inhabiting narratives shaped by others. Many tend to gravitate toward comforting illusions rather than confront unsettling truths, but such is the nature of the human condition. Dearest Baby Sadie: "Veritas vos liberabit" the truth shall set you free. And yes, Wizards appear to operate on a plane of insight and mastery that often surpasses their Witch counterparts. I hold profound respect and love for the duality within each of us, the interplay of shadow and light. Call it a "grey area" if you must, but I’ve found it to be a space of remarkable potential and authenticity. This is my most candid reflection: the film wasn't bad by any means, but it didn’t fully resonate with me. In overall terms, I’d give it a solid 2.5, not a failure, but not quite a favorite either.

Odessa is the daughter of a rambler , a rambler singer, who is the prophesy redeemer of the post apocalyptic world with a magic guitar. Cool songs on this rock musical and it has my favorite vegan actor Sadie Sink 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Hulu

I can't believe I actually finished this. Songs were boring. World was annoying. Man entirely too effeminate and then they die. The end.

The beginning is a tad bit slow, it will make sense as you watch. Great movie.

Enjoy this one. Reading the polarized reviews was fascinating. Thinking folks who hated it probably hated Rocky Horror in their past life.

After seeing 5 star reviews on this movie, I’m now understanding why the film industry has become so disappointing over the years. This is one of those movies you randomly choose, then become irate that you wasted time watching it. I’ve never heard of this singer until this movie, but if this was meant to help launch her career into the next level, this was a questionable way of doing so. I’ll be sure to skip anything I see that includes the name of this person. If you’re going to watch this because it’s listed under the “sci-fi” genre, save yourself the time.
