3/5
It’s far-fetched and diabolical in the right moments, however stunted the overall execution becomes ... Perhaps not the perfect score, but a nifty, noxious endeavor nonetheless. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 1d
I found myself charmed and fully invested in it. The film’s poppy vibrancy, its mood of absurdist anguish, its sheer velocity won me over. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com 1d
Let me be clear: Cathy Yan’s absurdist art world thriller "The Gallerist" is pretty dreadful. Go to Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky 6h
On paper, this lead trio should be hated; however, I couldn't help but cheer them on as they hatched wild plans to cover up an accidental death in the gallery. This film is a blast, thanks to unforgettable lead performances. Go to Full Review Denise Zubizarreta LatinaMedia.Co 7h

I couldn’t shake the feeling that 'The Gallerist' is performing rebellion while secretly terrified of offending the very system it wants to mock. Which is, in its own way, the film’s most accurate reflection of the art world. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 7h
4/10
The Gallerist is a tepid satire. Even calling it such feels generous, as the film is almost entirely devoid of genuine humor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
