The New York Times

Feb 13, 2020

Simultaneously rowdy and slick, Buffaloed is exuberantly paced and entirely dependent on Deutch’s moxie and pell-mell performance.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

Feb 14, 2020

With a screenplay by Brian Sacca, who grew up in the Buffalo area, Buffaloed is a showcase for the mega-talented Deutch, who tosses herself into the role like a maniacal fidget-spinner, all flash and charm.

A surprisingly fun comedy.

By John Fink FULL REVIEW

Feb 12, 2020

Buffaloed wants to package searing insights into the crooked world of debt collecting into a cutesy comedy, leaning hard on Deutch’s skills and far less on a script that’s unwilling to get nasty with its subject matter.

By Kate Erbland FULL REVIEW

Feb 10, 2020

The filmmakers allow their characters to learn the usual humanist lessons, in the process eliding the ramifications of their scenario.

By Chuck Bowen FULL REVIEW

Feb 25, 2020

Sacca’s script is an exercise in poor plotting.
