Fahrenheit 451's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
Vulture
Is distinctive, so on-message from one moment to the next, and so scary in both its depictions and implications, that there are times where it feels as if it?s intellectually brutalizing the audience, slapping viewers across the face to get them to wake up from a stupor
Variety
There?s enough good, though, especially in Jordan?s performance, to recommend 'Fahrenheit 451'
Indiewire
As a story, it holds together well enough, if a bit too neatly (...) There?s a lack of urgency to the film because it fits so snugly into generic expectations
Los Angeles Times
Fahrenheit 451's main problem stems from the fact that it jams a series' worth of story into 100 minutes.
The Playlist
There's a lot left out in this noisy and luridly shot but thin adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel.
The Verge
"Technology is horrible" is hardly an unusual premise, but Bahrani's Fahrenheit 451 doesn't even stay consistently technophobic.
Roger Ebert
Just read the book, folks.
New York Times
Mr. Jordan (Creed) puts flesh on Montag's conflict... But the script does little to give him inner life beyond some flashbacks. Mr. Shannon's imperious enforcer lacks the eccentric spark he brings to his best roles
