‘…intelligent, trenchant comedy. Our geopolitical system is shown as less under attack from within, by those who seek to profit from curating conflict. Depicting this tradition makes for a laudable, modern polemic from satirist Chris Morris...'

If you enjoy “Veep,” you may like this movie. While it is lighthearted, and no animals or people are physically harmed in the story, the denouement throws cold water on the humor

Overall, I would recommend the film, though I wish that it was tighter in the script.

| Apr 4, 2024

It's a biting, uncomfortable satire, but we expect nothing less from the hugely influential Chris Morris.

| Jun 10, 2021

...all the preceding comedy falls a bit flat.

| Oct 21, 2020

A muddled misfire that lacks the precision-tooled fizz of the director's best work.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2020

With such talent behind the scenes, it's not that difficult to coast by for a fun time.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 5, 2020

THE DAY SHALL COME presents a character that longs for change. Although the issues are prodded rather than skewered, the film develops a sadness at the absurdity and lack of empathy that perpetuates a status quo with an expensive human cost.

| Feb 13, 2020

There are perhaps as many jokes that don't land as those that do, but the sobering finale is good way of reminding us that any humour drilled from this subject can only go on for so long.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2020

...lacks enough empathy for Moses and his family to create discomfort rather than laughter...The Day Shall Come feels shallow and misguided, without being funny enough to overcome that lack of understanding.

| Jan 21, 2020

It's a case of distance guiding the film, with little to be gleaned about the intersection of race, economics, and religion.

| Jan 17, 2020

As underwhelming as its predecessor was impressive.

| Original Score: C | Oct 24, 2019

A rare film where the terrorists are viewed with more sympathy than the FBI.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 19, 2019

Chris Morris follow up to Four Lions mocks the conventions of the US War on Terror - The Day Shall Come shows just how much we've missed him.

| Oct 17, 2019

While foreigners sometimes see a country's flaws better than that country's natives do, that's not the case here.

| Oct 17, 2019

One of the best films of 2019, The Day Shall Come is fast-paced and features far wittier dialog than most domestic comedies.

| Oct 17, 2019

A convoluted film that is funny but never quite nails its target.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2019

Witty and surreal, yes, savagely satirical and often chilling, but it's not really rolling-in-the-aisles material.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2019

With his puppyish, soulful eyes, newcomer Davis unlocks poignancy in his beleaguered sidewalk revolutionary, but the role needed an ebullient wild card, high on his own humbug - a Sacha Baron Cohen or a Tracy Morgan - to really make it fly.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2019

While I'm all for movies that come in around the 90 minute mark, this simply felt unfinished.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2019
