Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN (497) on 01 Oct 2020

An entertaining, wonderfully simple comedy with the qualities of a smooth martini -- it goes down easy, but delivers a bit of kick…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 01 Oct 2020

On the Rocks is light-hearted and, ultimately, more a story about a girl and her father…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 01 Oct 2020

The father-daughter relationship is often witty, a seduction that never ends, and sometimes exquisitely poignant, but both roles are burdened…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 30 Sep 2020

As for Murray, it’s just a shame he can’t make a Sofia Coppola movie every year…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 30 Sep 2020

Here and there, Coppola seems interested in poking that Murray persona. On the Rocks would have been much better if Murray had done some poking too…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 30 Sep 2020

On the Rocks isn’t a great movie, but it’s one overflowing with feelings that it tries to squash into something tidier…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 30 Sep 2020

Seeing what may be Coppola’s least compelling film has a way of reminding you of all her better ones, especially in the seriocomic vein…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 28 Sep 2020

So, if you must celebrate Bill Murray Day this year, pour yourself a Suntory Whisky and watch Lost in Translation instead. And make that drink neat…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Clint Worthington (295) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 26 Sep 2020

Coppola sends us on a light, frothy father/daughter adventure, to be sure, but one suffused with the tiny tragedies of misogyny, and the excuses…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Scout Tafoya (47) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 25 Sep 2020

If you can look beyond the 90-minute runtime depriving this movie of a more satisfying conclusion, there is not simply “a lot to like,”…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By A.a. Dowd (854) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 25 Sep 2020

There’s something a little tidy about the resolution, closing a movie of messy emotional confusion on a note of affirmation and maybe even…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2020

There are few modern filmmakers who possess Sofia Coppola’s gift for capturing how our idealized, movie-fed ideas of “night life” reflect…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Matt Singer (625) for ScreenCrush (954) on 24 Sep 2020

Felix isn’t On the Rocks’ main character, but he is its most interesting one, the one who seems to have the most to say and the most to…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 24 Sep 2020

The film never achieves lift-off, drifting instead through a series of scenes that repeat and repeat the movie’s few, basic themes before…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Johnny Oleksinski (478) for New York Post (6,650) on 23 Sep 2020

What any of us wouldn’t give for a spontaneous night of rule breaking and lounge hopping with a genuine NY character, like Murray’s, again…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Terri White (32) for Empire (3,446) on 23 Sep 2020

Lighter and slighter than we may expect from Coppola, On The Rocks is an eminently charming, gorgeous portrait of a daughter, wife and mother…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Leah Greenblatt (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 23 Sep 2020

The story itself, with its gorgeous interiors and jazzy Chet Baker soundtrack, turns out to be a bit of a wisp, a dandelion puff tossed to…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 23 Sep 2020

There may be no more fitting snack for a film that exudes casual bon-vivant allure, but is fundamentally nibbles and froth…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 22 Sep 2020

Jones and Murray (who previously teamed on Coppola’s “A Very Murray Christmas” special) achieve the kind of effortless rapport that spawns…

Review of On the Rocks (2020)

By David Rooney (943) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Sep 2020

On the Rocks is very much a father-daughter two-hander — tender and personal, dryly funny and played to perfection by Jones and Murray…
