Reviews
"Billboard" received mixed to negative reviews from critics, reflected in its modest scores on major platforms: an IMDb rating of 5.3/10 and a Metacritic score of 24/100. Critics often pointed out that while the film attempts to shed light on the darker side of the music industry and offers some intense performances, particularly by Eric Roberts, it struggles with pacing and narrative coherence. On IMDb, user reviews vary widely, with some praising the raw energy and others criticizing the storyline as clichéd and disjointed. Metacritic’s aggregated critic reviews mostly leaned negative, describing the screenplay as underdeveloped and the direction as inconsistent. Several reviewers mentioned that although the film has moments of intrigue, it ultimately falls short of making a meaningful impact, often relying on familiar tropes without adding fresh insight. The consensus suggests "Billboard" may appeal to viewers seeking a gritty drama with suspense elements but might disappoint those expecting a polished or deeply nuanced cinematic experience.
