Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"If there were any lingering doubts that Pete Davidson has what it takes to be a terrific actor, this movie should dispel them....He makes the sociopathic goofball he’s playing a fully dimensional presence." - 06/08/2020 Variety
"Davidson is fully plugged in....It's winning: relaxed, generous, suffused with warmth and a surprisingly delicate sorrow." - 06/08/2020 Hollywood Reporter
"Burr and Tomei have strong chemistry and it’s nice to see two actors who don’t work enough playfully bouncing believable characters off each other." - 06/12/2020 RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he result is both emotional and a comic knockout." - 06/08/2020 Rolling Stone
"While it’s a little darker than the rest of Apatow’s films, THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND is a similarly long and shaggy work that mixes goofy hangout scenes, wrenching family drama, and even some tense action sequences." - 06/13/2020 The Atlantic
3 stars out of 5 -- "Apatow surrounds Davidson with a compelling cast that create the fabric of the film..." - 06/08/2020 Empire

"[I]t gains momentum to become a portrait of trauma and unresolved grief.” - 12/23/2020 Washington Post
