Duncan Jones' latest film is an crushingly disappointing disaster. [Full Review in Spanish]February 23, 2018
Mute is a disjointed, nihilistic trip through two distinct storylines that have almost nothing to do with each other.February 23, 2018
The narrative doesn't quite coalesce, and except for a few late-in-the-proceedings moments, it doesn't deliver the grim, indelible shivers of the best noir.February 23, 2018
Despite some promising elements, Mute struggles to explore philosophical questions within a sci-fi setting in a way that feels innovative and fresh.February 23, 2018
Jones reportedly conceived of the film years ago. However, as the story evolved and took on more emotional themes he never found the right balance between the sentimental and the hard-boiled.February 23, 2018
With an insipid script, no narrative line, and a cast of unlikable characters, Mute has to get by on looks-neon Cold War hand-me-downs with all the workmanship of journeyman TV.February 23, 2018
What is Jones trying to say with "Mute"? One would hardly guess this over-congested generic exercise came from the same mind as the elegant, almost minimalistic "Moon," which made far better use of all that went unsaid.February 23, 2018
Mute may be a bigger vision than Moon and Source Code, but it's narrower where it counts.February 23, 2018
If anything, Mute serves as a reminder that some dream projects should remain on the shelf.February 23, 2018
MUTE's narrative is a self-consciously odd and stillborn mix of missing-person mystery and rehabilitation parable.February 23, 2018
It's like watching a magician spend several minutes on elaborate flourishes and then drawing your card from a deck of one.February 23, 2018
Since we're being encouraged to use the Bowie scale, we will admit that Mute is no Never Let Me Down. Let's charitably rate it at Black Tie, White Noise level.
