Assisted death is an issue ripe for drama and yet the movie sidesteps every opportunity for depth with the kind of fake solemnity favored by undertakers.

It's not that Euphoria lacks good intentions or comes off as superficial in its treatment of death and dying. It's just that there's so much potential for grace or humor or despair or horror inherent in its premise.

Euphoria would have done better to confront and embrace the challenge of an agnostic argument for euthanasia, and there is certainly one to make. Instead, the movie presents its talking points like a checklist.

A solemn, heavy-going and foolish drama.

It's a slow-burn drama that lives in the subtext, which is quietly expressed in the actors' eyes. So watching it requires patience.

[The] superlative performances from Vikander and Green anchor the proceedings in intimately naturalistic substance that's achingly authentic.

Euphoria should be called Dyspepsia. It lulls you into a disagreeable stupor clearly labeled "who cares?"

Euphoria struggles to be little more than a hum-drum meditation on kicking the bucket.

Moviegoers can feel the pain of the characters, and not in a good way, in this mournful drama that squanders a first-rate cast.

Langseth doesn't pull any punches with the material, retaining rawness and confusion as emotional breakthroughs are squeezed out of the characters.

To die or not to die that is the question, And though it is well acted the whole thing is pretty depressing

The variety of experience portrayed in "Euphoria" continually tickles the cerebrum as the unique atmosphere forces the guests to engage with both the environment and each other, but it's the raw, unvarnished performances that tug at the heart.

Euphoria is undeniably a missed opportunity at creating a drama of frayed sisterhood that feels fresh and unique.

The story moves from curiously intimate and mysterious but extremely repetitive to utterly unrelatable with its focus on über wealthy people -- a focus that hardly seems necessary given the themes.

Euphoria quickly settles into a subdued, meandering narrative devoted mostly to the characters' continuing chatter...

The failing lies in the script, penned by Langseth, is clunky and overwrought, feeling the need to tell rather than show every hurdle the characters are going through.
