Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is neither lucky nor fun ... although it might make you want to play dead for at least a few minutes. Go to Full Review
Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 1d
4/5
It is grippingly unpredictable – a film with a glint in its eye and smoke curling from its nostrils and underpants. But you dismiss it, or miss it, at your peril. Go to Full Review
Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) 1d
3/5
It’s ideologically flawed, structurally jumbled, and a little too enamoured by its dystopian predecessors. But it’s also sort of wonderfully personal, cranky and spiked -- like an affronted hedgehog trying to repeatedly ram your shin. Go to Full Review
Amelia Harvey Frame Rated 5h
4/5
The film has its finger firmly on the pulse of modern sentiment towards technology, yet possesses the chaotic filmmaking ethos of a retro 1990s outing. It has all the ingredients of a cult classic. Go to Full Review

3/5
Way too long and not satisfying from beginning to end, but there are reasons to find this audacious and wildly entertaining especially thanks to Rockwell. It's messy but in ways that I found to be engaging especially on an intellectual level. Go to Full Review

(Verbinski) is not usually subtle anyway, and given the material here and how desperate he feels in terms of how prevalent AI has become, he certainly doesn't feel like now is the time to be subtle. Go to Full Review
