3/4
Ansel Elgort's wonderful performance does appropriate honor to the ambiguity the movie is trucking in. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Nov 15, 2018
The movie, itself somewhat torn in sensibility, permits itself an easy out. Go to Full Review
Cary Darling Houston Chronicle Nov 15, 2018
3.5/5
This intriguing and skillfully wrought indie science-fiction tale has the feel of a low-key "Black Mirror" episode. Go to Full Review

2/5
Jonathan never goes much beyond its beginning, despite the unsurprising development of a struggle between the two consciousnesses. Go to Full Review

Jonathan winds up being such a bore that its late-game competency doesn't carry it over the finish line. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Nov 30, 2018
By the final act, the execution can't match the ambition. There are too many unanswered questions, and the characters maintain a frustrating emotional distance. Go to Full Review

Kylo G Apr 23, 2019 A compelling study of fractured personage; spoiled by casually dismissing a major character followed by a desperate attempt to be clever by introducing a poorly conceived plot twist. See more
George S Apr 20, 2019 Decent story, but took the easy way out in the end.
Harry R Apr 16, 2019 This movie is amazing. Ansel Elgort truly does an amazing job, can't say enough good things about his performance.
Apr 6, 2019 Great movie. Left me empty
Anakin M Feb 4, 2019 This sci-fi fantasy tale was a pleasant surprise. The premise of two brothers living in the same body, with one living 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the other from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., sounds pretty preposterous but somehow the filmmakers, with Bill Oliver making his feature directorial debut, make it work. Ansel Elgort gives a top notch performance in the dual role of the two brothers, with Suki Waterhouse and Patricia Clarkson adding much to the mix. All in all, I wasn't particularly thrilled with the ending here, but I found the movie to be quite intriguing and engrossing. See more
Jan 22, 2019 So close. But no cigar. Intriguing idea for a plot unfortunately not fleshed out into a cohesive narrative. Stylish visuals. Kept me guessing. Wish they had explored the dark/light angel more effectively and come up with an ending that felt like it belonged to the story. But they didn't. Ending felt tacked on as a hasty and abrupt finish. Could have further explored the different personalities of the bros but I could barely tell them apart. And what the heck about bro number three? Red herring bro? No idea. Messy under a neat exterior. See more
