Natalia Winkelman New York Times 22h
A crafty reveal does not a clever film make, and even at a merciful 80 minutes, the device eventually feels more tired than the sullen Erin, who soldiers on through her suffering. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Variety 03/20/2025
For a film about letting go, much of “Magic Hour” is bound to stick. Go to Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter 03/15/2025
Sometimes eloquent and often rocky, Magic Hour is good enough to make you wish it was much less predictable. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 4h
This two-hander features strong performances committed to material that is refreshingly candid, yet feels more slight than profound. Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 20h
2/5
The performances aren’t enough to give Magic Hour the depth it strives for in its exploration of loss and moving on. It becomes clear early on that there is little magic here and that this will quickly become tedious Go to Full Review Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum 1d
