St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsApr 27, 2012
96 Minutes is a mere introduction to Sociology 101, but it's brisk enough to rustle the reading list and keep the conversation alive. Read full review

Village VoiceBenjamin MercerApr 24, 2012
The narrative machinery grows creakier as the plot advances, and the film is a bit too strident about some of the issues at play, but 96 Minutes is admirably knotty nonetheless. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonApr 23, 2012
Despite the over-familiarity of its once-trendy time-tripping plot structure, 96 Minutes maintains a brisk pace and generates a satisfying degree of suspense with its credibly contrived tale of disparate lives forever changed by a violent carjacking. Read full review

The A.V. ClubSam AdamsApr 25, 2012
Lagos draws strong performances from her young cast, as well as David Oyelowo, who plays Ross' uncle and guardian, but they don't have much to work with. Read full review
