The New York Times
Simultaneously rowdy and slick, Buffaloed is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch’s moxie and pell-mell performance. - 75
The Film Stage
A surprisingly fun comedy. - 75
Movie Nation
Deutch is is just-short-of-dazzling as the persuasive opportunist who convinces one and all that “debt is JAIL,” and what they’re selling to debtors is the chance to “break these people OUT.” - 75
New York Post
Thanks largely to the feisty Deutch, Buffaloed is a fun time, even if it’s about everybody’s least-favorite kind of phone call. - 75
Slashfilm
With director Tanya Wexler lending the crime dramedy a zippy, irreverent flair, Buffaloed becomes the vehicle for which Deutch can finally show off her chops. - 70
Los Angeles Times
This is a fast, fun watch that succeeds largely on the charms of its star and the able hands of its director. - 58
IndieWire
Buffaloed wants to package searing insights into the crooked world of debt collecting into a cutesy comedy, leaning hard on Deutch’s skills and far less on a script that’s unwilling to get nasty with its subject matter. - 50
Slant Magazine
The filmmakers allow their characters to learn the usual humanist lessons, in the process eliding the ramifications of their scenario.
