[Rock's] high notes are higher than ever, his penchant for uproarious comedy intact, but his cinematic voice remains inexplicably lost in the din.

[An] overly self-referential comedy shot through with an uncomfortable dose of Serious Themes.

I honestly expected the movie to be funnier, but I did laugh out loud multiple times.

Top Five gives us a glimpse of [Rock's] comic genius. Just a tad.
March 24, 2016
It's a familiar structure that Rock juggles well and fills with sharp, smart, and often hilarious take on the mid-life crisis of an artist caught between public expectations, private ambitions and anxieties, and professional compromises and commitments

It doesn't always hit its mark, but even its misses feel personal and unself-conscious - a genuine reflection of Chris Rock, auteur.

He finds a cinematic approximation of his act: free-flowing, unpredictable, personal, spiced up with pop cultural references, political shout-outs, and a decidedly hip-hop energy, and above all else, funny as hell.

Chris Rock's Top Five is very funny -- no surprise there -- but it's also unexpectedly romantic.
December 12, 2014
Like Rock's best stand-up shows, Top Five mixes the sweet with the salty, the naughty with the remarkably kind. It celebrates the darkly hilarious with the light of whip-smart observations.

For an ostensibly soul-deep movie like this to work, we need more than smirks and scowls.
December 14, 2014
A seriously funny, semi-autobiographical film that might be the most accomplished work Chris Rock has ever done for the big screen.
January 05, 2015
As a director, Chris Rock makes a fine stand-up comic.
