As a dialogue-driven comedy, it thrives and fortunately, it has somewhat good enough writing and strong performances to carry it through. But it doesn’t leave you satisfied enough...

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 20, 2024

The Mimic goes back and forth in amusing conversations between two characters with a story to tell. The approach doesn’t let them get out of an overbearing atmosphere that seems to come from a hybrid of Groucho Marx and Sigmund Freud.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 3, 2023

The cast hits their marks, and [Thomas] Mazziotti keeps predictability at bay, but it's tough to shake the feeling that it all would've worked better as a short...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 21, 2021

Smug and self-congratulatory ... For his next film, Mazziotti should try to mimic something watchable.

| Jun 6, 2021

It's a feat inside a nesting doll of arrogance, with enough color to make it attractive.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 25, 2021

The film plays out like a free-wheeling session with a psychiatrist, a writer trying to cobble together a script or a grieving individual trying to come to terms with the hand life has dealt him.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 9, 2021

A writer is intrigued by his new neighbor, a potential sociopath, unless he also is one in this dark comedy with sharp timing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 9, 2021

The scenes go on and on.

| Mar 8, 2021

Reasonably funny two-handed comedy about friendships you can't shake.

| Mar 6, 2021

Dark, unkind psychiatric comedy has drugs, smoking.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 20, 2021

Don't discount The Mimic completely. Just don't expect it to be the best thing you've ever seen.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 16, 2021

The Mimic is one of those movies that tries too hard to be deadpan funny, but the dialogue is often idiotic and downright cringeworthy ... There are too many moments in this film where it's nothing but silly arguments and unimaginative action.

| Feb 16, 2021

More academic than personable, this is a theatrical, arch pas de deux mirroring of a sociopath, too clever by half with its meta narrative. Dryly amusing and unfunny (but the acting has snap).

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 16, 2021

The Mimic is an engaging, funny, kooky look at sociopathy in a way you have never seen before.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 12, 2021

The only message The Mimic conveys is that its creator is as insufferable as his characters.

| Original Score: C | Feb 10, 2021

Gina Gershon has a hilarious scene-stealing cameo while Sadoski and Robinson make an appealing odd couple in a chipper black comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 10, 2021

The Mimic is a brief feature that feels longer, a tiring experience that isn't rewarding when the credits roll.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 5, 2021

What it has going for it is an energetic cast, and a certain fearlessness about going to absurd extremes.

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

It is not without its laughs, but the ultimately the movies gets a little too pleased with itself. Most jokes never have time to settle. Proves great chemistry has its limits.

| Feb 4, 2021

Sadoski and Robinson are delightful to watch, carrying The Mimic with their constant banter.
