- 80IGNSiddhant AdlakhaIGNSiddhant AdlakhaHarmony Korine’s infrared assassin movie Aggro Dr1ft is a video-game-inspired experiment that’ll have you in a trance.
- 70VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeBecause Korine’s never been one to subscribe to traditional narrative tropes, there’s an insidious sort of suspense running beneath the otherwise-thin plot, like some kind of high-voltage electric current.
- 67The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorShot entirely in infrared and using augmented reality effects and AI imaging tools, Aggro Dr1ft appears like the fever dream of a day spent drinking lean, watching music videos, and playing God of War and Grand Theft Auto. At times it’s funny, dazzling, almost beautiful; at others ugly, misogynistic, numbingly dull.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerIt’s not really a movie at all, but more like a cross between a movie, a video game and a flow of hallucinatory images that could play in the background of a live show by rapper Travis Scott — who co-stars here as a gun-toting, philosophizing killer surrounded by a swarm of twerking booties.
- 50IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichI was bored or exasperated by almost every minute of “Aggro Dr1ft,” but there are only 80 of them, and not a single second of this AI-inflected nightmare experiment feels insincere.
- 50The PlaylistElena LazicThe PlaylistElena LazicTo call Aggro Dr1ft stupid or silly isn’t wrong, but it is missing the point. The dialogue is incredibly banal and hilariously repetitive, the story a thin assemblage of clichés. But the images!
- 30New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriNew York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriEventually, the oppressive sameness of everything becomes stultifying — which to me feels like a death blow for something so self-consciously experimental and wannabe visionary.
- 25ColliderChase HutchinsonColliderChase HutchinsonRather than come away feeling like you’ve watched something truly daring or inventive, it all feels derivative. It is a film that is too mundane to even get mad at.
- 20Total FilmJane CrowtherTotal FilmJane CrowtherMeddle with sobriety and project it on a nightclub wall and maybe it works. As a film, not so much.
