Stephen Romei

The Australian

I quite liked it, for the performances, for its quick-witted script and for its subversion of the traditional crime drama.

Rated: 3.5/5

Breaking News in Yuba County might think it's in on the joke but actually, it is the joke.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

Here, nearly everybody is trying too hard and when in doubt, they get raucous for want of something better to do. Even Janney is struggling.

Rated: 2.5/5

Mitchell Beaupre

Awards Radar

Taylor is living in the shadow of his influences here, which makes sense as he still can’t seem to figure out who he is as a filmmaker.

Rated: 2/4

Shares its main character's instability until it falls apart completely, failing to mix broad attempts at humor with startling violence.

Rated: C+

Jade Budowski

Decider

Not even a cast including heavyweights like Allison Janney, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall can save Breaking News in Yuba County, a sloppy, mean-spirited attempt at dark satire.

Ashley G Why are ppl anti this movie? It's hilarious character acting by all, especially Awkwafina. If you like bizarre black comedies, you'll love this. I enjoyed tf out of it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review KEVIN C Allison Janney plays a meek housewife doing her daily affirmations when on her birthday her life as she knows it takes a turn when the police and media believe he husband has been kidnapped but she knows the very different truth. Part dark comedy and part small town crime film. Good cast populates this film including Mila Kunis, Regina Hall, Awkwafina, Matthew Modine and many more. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review steven m This is a total hidden gem. Cute, smart, and a massive cast. Not sure why this movie is getting the hate. people coming about nothing good goes to theaters then gems like this exist and people give it bad ratings. Sigh. Gotta support these types of movies. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the worst thing I have watched in a long time! I watched because of Allison Janney. I had to give it 1/2 a star but should be no stars! It is extremely violent, graphic, foul language and bloody! Do not watch!! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/22 Full Review Audience Member So ridiculous and funny. Totally worth a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A giant cast of great actors can not stop the weight of the central and supporting characters being both unlikeable and even worse… uninteresting. There is no mystery to drive interest the way a neo-noir would and it's not dark enough to be a black-comedy. The film is too much of not-a-good thing and not enough of what it could have been. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
