Opus (2025) | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Johnny Oleksinski New York Post Despite boasting the terrific star of “The Bear,” “Opus” is a dog. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian It’s frustrating to see yet another first-time film-maker overstack their plate in such a way that feels less like the product of impressive ambition and more empty bravado. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich deftly carry the film on their shoulders, but it’s not enough to sustain the sluggish and thinly rendered satire that mostly forgets to bring the horror. Rated: 2/5 Jan 29, 2025 Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net The impact of this message is watered down by everything that comes before, with the film losing energy and intrigue as it goes on. Rated: 5.5/10 Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Mashable The little that works ends up shackled by lousy, scattershot filmmaking that saps the movie of all tension, insight, and fun. Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Lyvie Scott Inverse Opus feels caught between the psychological battle between journalist and artist, and the cheaper, bloodier expectations of the genre.
