Reviews
Word of Mouth has garnered mixed to average reviews since its release. According to IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.1/10, indicating a lukewarm reception from audiences. Critics have pointed out the film's ambitious exploration of themes, with Variety stating, 'The film attempts to tackle the intricacies of communication but often disappoints in its execution.' Rotten Tomatoes reviews echo this sentiment, with some critics claiming that while the premise is intriguing, the pacing falls short: 'It tries to juggle multiple stories but ends up dropping the ball on several deliveries.' However, there are notable highlights; the performances of the lead actors have received praise. 'The cast delivers sincere performances that uplift the narrative,' writer for Entertainment Weekly noted. Overall, while 'Word of Mouth' succeeds in raising interesting questions about social interaction, it struggles to fully realize its potential as a cohesive cinematic piece.
