Nick Schager The Daily Beast 1d
A far cry from [Stanton’s] Pixar gems Finding Nemo and WALL-E, both of which have infinitely more to say about the human condition than this schematic and bathetic bowl of chicken soup for the soul. Go to Full Review Richard Lawson The Hollywood Reporter 1d
There is so little texture to these character arcs that the actors are mostly just working in service of a blandly uplifting message. It’s as if they’ve all been commissioned by a well-funded science museum. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Variety 1d
While presented as a trio of interconnected stories, "In the Blink of an Eye" plays more like three disparate TV series smushed into a single feature. Go to Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily 3h
It beggars belief that, having been sent briefly to Director’s Jail with the middling John Carter, its director would expect a film as woolly and sentimental as this to take him anywhere except backwards. Go to Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire 19h
3/10
If anything, at least the film truly is over in the blink of an eye at a merciful 94 minutes. Go to Full Review Martin Tsai AwardsWatch 1d

On paper, In the Blink of an Eye reads as forbiddingly ambitious, a piece of high-concept science fiction that risks crumbling under the weight of its own ideas. Stanton, however, has a long history of coaxing intimacy out of enormity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
