The Oath's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
Raw, improvised and indicative of Trump?s America, 'The Oath' reminds viewers of the need for laughter despite the downtrodden insanity around us. Thankfully, Barinholtz resists the urge to lapse into cynicism, because at the end of the day people are more important than politics.
The Wrap
'The Oath' is a film of its time, and that immediacy is both its strength and its downfall.
Entertainment Weekly
The concept itself is promising, and the early scenes perfectly calibrate the simmering tension of a country in political upheaval.
Variety
Here?s a project that had the nerve to address these tensions in a megaplex environment, only to squander them on a standoff it pretends could be so glibly resolved.
The Hollywood Reporter
The stakes would be higher if Barinholtz had set things up with more finesse, drawing more believable characters instead of hammering home a point most of us have learned over and over in the social media era: a person can be on the right side of every issue and still be insufferable.
