Movie Reviews

Reviews:
"Weaving light Hollywood satire and fear of Big Data into a parable of erotic temptation, Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe’s THE BETA TEST watches as a mysterious one-night stand threatens to destroy a young agent’s life." - 09/29/2021 Hollywood Reporter


"THE BETA TEST is a furtive satire of Hollywood corruption..." - 03/06/2021 Variety


3 stars out of 4 -- "THE BETA TEST understands how to set up and pay off a joke by putting the camera in a particular spot and moving it to reveal or conceal a crucial detail." - 11/05/2021 RogerEbert.com
