Weird for the sake of weird? Definitely. A work of art? Maybe. Genius? Hardly. But be sure of one thing: this is most certainly a box that's worth peeking into.April 04, 2011
Total head-scratch entertainment.February 15, 2012
it's just a big, incomprehensible, cliché-laden mess.August 28, 2015
As a dark, strange and enjoyably paranoid little sci-fi thriller, I'd say the good points outweigh the bad by a long shot.September 16, 2012
A shallow and easily-forgettable thriller.November 12, 2009
Whatever you do, do not accept delivery of The Box, a package that doesn't know where it is going nor how to get there.February 15, 2013
What they end up deciding sets in slothlike motion a convoluted string of ludicrous events that will take writer-director Richard Kelly years to live down.September 24, 2011
Kelly treats what is essentially a Stanford University psychology experiment with inflated somberness.November 11, 2009
Kelly has talent, but for his next movie, he might try coming down to earth and forgetting about the people who control the lightning.November 09, 2009
I think Kelly is a very inventive writer and I think he is his own worst enemy behind the camera.December 04, 2009
While it's true that the film's sci-fi antics are far from watertight in the logic department, there's enough eccentricity and ambition at play to charm and bemuse in equal measure.May 06, 2011
Is it an odd film? Certainly. Will it creep you out more than it engages you? Probably. Should we be rewarding folks who are willing to step out of bounds and make us think? Definitely.
