Washington Post

Apr 9, 2018

Secrets, lies and vast array of medical emergencies beset the game cast (which includes Kathy Bates and Felicity Huffman, Macy’s real-life wife) before the story goes fully off the rails.

TheWrap

The comic drama Krystal, marking William H. Macy’s third time out as a feature director, is so baffling that it must be appreciated at least for its ability to defy all logic.

By April Wolfe FULL REVIEW

Movie Nation

Apr 11, 2018

Macy, working from a seriously stereotypical script by Will Aldis, achieves a mild level of madcap, here and there.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Apr 12, 2018

At 93 minutes Krystal feels chaotic and thin, like a pilot that was also forced to be a series finale.

By Teo Bugbee FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Apr 12, 2018

Other than the luminous Dawson, who somehow manages to rise above the hackneyed material, none of the principal players emerge from this cinematic wreckage unscathed. Director Macy emphasizes the comedic aspects of the material in such overly broad fashion that Krystal begins to resemble a demented sitcom that could only have benefited from a laugh track.

By Frank Scheck FULL REVIEW

Variety

Apr 12, 2018

Though Macy is an odd fit to direct (coming at the talky script like it was a madcap piece of theater), the wonky tone is all screenwriter Will Aldis’ invention.

By Peter Debruge FULL REVIEW

Village Voice

Apr 12, 2018

What this tiresome, out-of-pocket-ass movie actually does is create a painfully kooky, mad world where the only good thing about it is that Rosario Dawson can still turn men into idiots with her presence.
