Ricocheting between comedy, apocalyptic horror, and swooning soap opera, Rumours follows the seven leaders of the world’s wealthiest democracies at the annual G7 summit, where they attempt to draft a provisional statement regarding a global crisis. With unexpected, uproarious performances from a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and Charles Dance, these so-called leaders become spectacles of incompetence, contending with increasingly surreal obstacles in the misty woods as night falls and they realize they are suddenly alone. A genre-hopping satire of political ineptitude, the latest film from incomparable directors Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson is a journey into the absurd heart of power and institutional failure in a slowly burning world.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A brainy satire that has a ball turning the supposed adults in the room into helpless children, Rumours spins a one-joke premise into a sophisticated riot.

Adam Nayman The New Republic Symbolism is a slippery slope, and at its core Rumours is less allegorical than it is surrealist: What makes it so enjoyable is the way that the characters take even the wackiest developments in stride. Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It kind of plays out like a horror melodrama set at Bandcamp. Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Hopefully, “Rumours” can kick off a new age of gonzo, let’s-all-laugh-in-fear-together entertainment. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) It’s like a New Yorker cartoon. And not a good one like one with dogs. It’s more like one where someone smarter than you says “Oh, I get it.” And so you say you do too. But you kinda don’t. And by kinda I mean not at all. Rated: D Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket I can recognize that Maddin and the Johnsons are saying something profound and biting about the hollow contradictions of world leaders, people willing to sacrifice anything for global unity — anything, that is, except for their next election back home. Rated: 3/4 Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a high concept spoof that's funny in spots but too poorly executed to make much of an impact. Rated: B- Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Dan S I liked that it was weird and is a critique on how the world works. Good casting and writing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Brandon K This film actually has a ton of funny moments, but it drones on much too long and at the end it just feels pointless. A lot of deception within the ads as well, hardly any horror here. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review James This was literally the worst movie I’ve ever seen. It was rambling and disorganized pointless and thoroughly boring. Zero entertainment. I didn’t connect with any of the characters, I was looking at my watch after the first 30 minutes. I would rather kill myself than see this movie again. It was worse than staring at a white wall for two hours. I wish I could unsee it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review David A lot there but not for everybody. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Eric S I absolutely enjoyed it—even if I don’t think I understood it. I was like an apocalyptic fever dream someone has while waiting in line at the UN passport office. The acting and dialogue were quite good. I just wish it could have come together more, while retaining its ridiculousness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Randy E It might be a bit better on TV.
