Magazine Dreams - Reviews

...Majors is impossible to look away from: a man who desperately needs the world to see him — and if they refuse, to feel his pain.

Jonathan Majors gives one of the best performances of the decade as Magazine Dreams is an anxiety-ridden ride that delivers a knockout punch.

At once a haunting portrait of a distinctly American psyche and an often nail-biting thriller...

Jonathan Majors is a marvel in bruising bodybuilder drama.

...a nerve-shredding character study that has already drawn copious comparisons to no less than “Taxi Driver.”

...a dark drama in the vein of “Taxi Driver,” Martin Scorsese’s film about a disturbed cabbie named Travis Bickle who projects his damage onto the world.

A deeply troubled and troublesome movie in the vein of Taxi Driver and Joker, this bodybuilding drama has—offscreen controversy notwithstanding—an undeniably brutal, committed central performance.

...may be one of the most enthralling films this year, with a central performance that will be hard to beat come award season.

...a portrait of a man who is running out of time to get it together lest he fall utterly and tragically apart.
