You should not watch Synchronic if you love animals.

| Jun 12, 2024

Benson and Moorhead have still created a grim, uneasy thriller with genuinely hair-raising moments.

| Jul 19, 2023

Benson and Moorhead have a visual style full of creativity and flair... Sequences in Synchronic are immersive and suitably hallucinatory.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

There is humour in the screenplay, but also serious socio-historical ideas about the way a young black man is seen across different eras.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

The effort to construct another inventive sci-fi concept is appreciated, but the final product is underwhelming.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 5, 2022

Synchronic is a peculiar film with flaws, but one that succeeds in trying something completely different. At its heart is a message of appreciating the moment, embodied by an actor who shines in the spotlight.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2022

Synchronic is a trippy sci-fi thriller that's grounded in human emotion, thanks to a layered and compelling performance from Anthony Mackie.

| Original Score: 8 | Jun 24, 2021

At its worst, some of Synchronic's most rote ideas brush up against sociopolitical concerns in a way that seems thoughtless and callous.

If you are a fan of speculative fiction - science fiction, fantasy, and horror - and you do not watch the films of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, then you are essentially failing as a fan.

| Original Score: 9/10 | May 9, 2021

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead... continue to break the limits of the film genre. [Full review in Spanish]

The movie makes superb use of New Orleans as a a city that hums with hauntings and harrowing history. Synchronic isn't a home run, but a decent time travel triple is always welcome.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 21, 2021

a swift, intelligent and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller

Just because a tale is science fiction doesn't mean that plausibility and cohesion are not required. Yet we can see the narrative strings pulling along the puppet-characters, and in an ugly direction.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 9, 2021

Despite some bumpiness, Synchronic is still worth checking out.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2021

Mackie and Dornan's sincere work knows how to provide an authenticity rarely achieved in [these kinds] of proposals, usually more concerned with prioritizing spectacle over the dramatic arc. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 8, 2021

The film's tight running time leaves [the emotional angle] comparatively starved for attention, and empathy levels generated by the film suffer for it. Still, there are enough intelligently-approached ideas to keep SYNCHRONIC engaging and smart.

| Mar 7, 2021

Despite its messiness, Synchronic is suitably weird and sufficiently fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2021

Mackie and Dornan do their best with their intrepid characters (though Dornan is sidelined for much of the time), while the women have little opportunity to register as interesting characters.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2021

But something about the film just did not hit the mark for me. Despite the attempt at tension and cool sci fi stuff, Synchronic struggled to hold my attention.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 21, 2021

When a movie takes you on the kind of ride that Synchronic does, in such a stunning, sharp and thrilling fashion, and with such depth at is core, its tiny imperfections fade from memory quickly.
