Richard Roeper

As a stand-alone work of cinema fiction, A Million Little Pieces is an effective blunt instrument of a film — a rough-edged, unvarnished, painfully accurate portrayal of addiction and rehabilitation. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

The film’s sincere core is threatened a little by its flashier directorial effects. Read full review

The Guardian Cath Clarke

Aug 30, 2019

A Million Little Pieces is a weirdly unreflective exploration of the destructive force of addiction and, setting a new benchmark for blandness, drags on for what feels like a million not-so-little minutes. Read full review

Luke Parker

Dec 5, 2019

While its well-founded intentions and creative intuitions are palpable, not even a tortuously acrobatic performance from Aaron Taylor-Johnson saves A Million Little Pieces from consistently sober storytelling. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

Dec 5, 2019

Another ruin-and-rehab tale, one that initially tantalizes then flatly disappoints. Read full review

Katie Walsh

Nothing on screen is as electrifying or surprising as it was on the page, as semi-fictionally enhanced as the writing was. Read full review

At times it’s a hard watch, with some slightly over the top details but offers important considerations to all those booked in for serious detox treatment; A: Think seriously about all the challenges, regardless of your biased beliefs. B: Remember, others before you, have overcome their petty and physical opposition towards the cures outlined stages, and gone on to win the battle – give up and you’re lost. Good performances manage to keep it on target and it’s always interesting to see Australian Odessa Young on screen (even though here quite bleak) The co-writing and direction by the co-writer/lead performer’s wife is competent and the two eventually manage to make us feel for the subject. Between the above-average cinematography, there’s also a hard-working soundtrack helping to move it along. A couple of early, overindulged scenes finally give way to serious outcomes – even if not all as fully desired. Note: Heavy Language, nudity, drug use… Expand
