	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"'Bright' is the best Netflix original movie to date, and it absolutely deserves to be seen on the big screen (...) Ambitious, yet astonishingly well-executed"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The worst movie of 2017 (...) A movie that's part 'Training Day', part 'Lord of the Rings', and all miserable (...) There’s boring, there’s bad, and then there’s 'Bright' (...) Profoundly awful"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A genre mashup awkward enough to make 'Cowboys & Aliens' look like a stroke of genius (...) 'Bright' spends less time imagining its world than it does having people bicker in all-too-familiar ways"
		Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Congratulations, Netflix! You can make a visually grotesque, dreadfully dull and hopelessly convoluted would-be franchise action movie just as well as the stereotypical Hollywood machine!"
		Jordan Hoffman Vanity Fair	"As loud and dumb as 'Suicide Squad' (...) This movie is an absolute wreck (...) A disaster like this (...) is not likely to gain Netflix the mainstream film-industry acceptance it craves."
		David Griffin IGN	"Will Smith and Joel Edgerton are a compelling duo I’d love to see again in a sequel (...) A fun ride"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"A dreadful, misguided, ridiculous idea (...) At least in this form and execution (...) [It] should come with a glossary of terms or a graphic novel to unmuddle itself"
		Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"Even star’s irrepressible charisma can’t compete with muddy production design, poorly-conceived characters and a profoundly stupid racial metaphor"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Ultimately, the biggest problem with 'Bright' is that it squeezes nudity, profanity and blood into the kind of dopey adventure that should be aimed more at adolescents - right down to its simplistic lessons about tolerance."
		Steve Rose The Guardian	"For all its flaws, 'Bright' is still a headlong leap into a bracingly different new world. Cinema could do with more of that (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"[An] overcooked genre mash-up (...) [It] feels like the non-brainwave of a random plot generator (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
