Foe

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan give it all they've got, but they're ultimately undone by Foe's clunky sci-fi trappings and ponderous attempts to generate psychological thrills.

Robert Levin Newsday It's suffocating to the point where you're as desperate for an escape from this scorched Earth misery as these characters. Rated: 1/4 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) These scenes from a marriage are sometimes evocative, but they don’t tie together. Jan 17, 2024 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Overall, the film must be counted as a disappointment, though there are interesting ­elements to this futuristic drama. Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2023 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League “Foe” wants to be a delicate look at how love is lost and eventually replaced, possibly by unorthodox stand-ins, but it’s a rather incurious sci-fi feature that squanders its themes and setup in favour of melodrama. Rated: 2/5 Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Garth Davis directs two of the best and hottest young actors in the business, but he cannot create chemistry between them, which deflates the film's romantic vein. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views The story feels like a prequel for “Blade Runner” (1982) meets “The Stepford Wives” (1975) except no human beings were harmed in the making of this film.

Jerod S Foe takes the problem of relocating people from earth to a space station and turns it over on itself so many times that its numbing instead of thrilling. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Would've been twice as good if the director just let them use their own accents Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Melanie U Something different that forces you to think, not just a simple story thrown at you with no thoughts. Both Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal are wonderful actors. I really liked this movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Ana Lúcia B What is wrong with these movie critics? Foe is a great movie in all aspects: acting, cinematography, plot (which is based on a novel), music, sound... everything. They want Hollywood fast-paced action I guess. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review marianella b The plot is at times confusing, But Saorise Ronan and Paul Mescal acting is simply marvellous. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Regina P So... I liked this story. I was very confused about who was real and who wasn't. The timeline confused me, and I wasn't sure if the movie was really telling the truth about which person was a clone. But I am pretty sure I got it straight in the end. Seemed strange to have 2 identical couples with one human and one bot in each pairing. (I think that's what happened.) I like the lesson in that. People really don't put labor into finding intimacy with other humans. People prefer to get along with someone who they designed specifically for their own tastes. It is very sad. We are self-centered and lazy, and the loneliness epidemic will likely be solved with bots and droids. Very tragic. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
