The Playlist
The Ticket exists better as a parable than as a true-to-life drama. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
This is a film that moves quietly along but speaks volumes. - 60
The Guardian
Admirably cynical until it loses its way in the final stretch, The Ticket nevertheless maintains a provocative allure, bolstered by a fiercely committed performance from Dan Stevens. - 50
Slant Magazine
The Ticket abandons the potentially complex web of drama it initially sets up and moves toward a limp, shallow critique of superficiality itself. - 50
Village Voice
If Fluk’s film has any impact at all, much of it is thanks to Dan Stevens, who brings an empathy to James that occasionally complicates the director/co-writer’s two-dimensional view of the character. - 50
Washington Post
At its worst, the movie is a blunt critique of materialism, but there are some smart moments along the way in this methodically paced drama, which puts more emphasis on atmospherics than storytelling. - 50
The New York Times
The script is incapable of penetrating the moral thicket that the actors and the cinematographer, Zachary Galler, have so carefully woven. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The Ticket is underwhelming in several ways, but the performance driving it is magnetic — and helps alleviate some of the bludgeoning obviousness of a morality tale that New York-based Israeli writer-director Ido Fluk hasn’t fully figured out how to tell.
