Roger Ebert

It's imperfect, but you probably won't be returning it. Undercooked metaphors about motherhood and a mishandled climax aside, there's enough to like in Susanne Bier’s “Bird Box,” premiering on Netflix after a limited theatrical release today.

Rotten Tomatoes

Bird Box isn't a movie worth strong feelings, both good and bad. It's a fittingly entertaining movie with too many structural flaws.

The New York Times

"Bird Box," an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s novel, jumps between two timelines under the premise “What if M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘The Happening,’ in which people mysteriously begin killing themselves, had blindfolds?”

Vox

it’s entertaining enough to be worth watching for fans of the genre or of Bullock, who turns in a strong performance as a woman who has motherhood thrust onto her in a world loaded with peril.

The Hollywood Reporter

"Bird Box, a 'class' horror film by virtue of star Sandra Bullock and art house director Susanne Bier but one that diminishes in joltage as the number of castmembers contracts."

As Bird time-jumps between the claustrophobic action of the house and a desperate sort of jailbreak, director Susanne Bier keeps the mood taut and defiantly in the moment.

Variety

"There’s no getting around that this is a monster movie without a monster."

ScienceFiction.com

A phenomenal cast, a great premise, but poor execution and questionable focus on what’s truly important in the plot all combine to end up making ‘Bird Box’ feel like a decidedly average film.
