- 70The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThe Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThe film is smart with a cool New York irony that is easy to get into, but it owes its principal fascination to the enigmatic Condola Rashad, the stage actress seen in Showtime’s Billions and Joshua Marston’s recent Come Sunday, and her multi-layered performance as a charismatic but mentally disturbed Iraq war vet.
- 60The New York TimesKen JaworowskiThe New York TimesKen JaworowskiBikini Moon is better in separate scenes than as a whole, where Manchevski’s overreaches and plot lapses become more glaring. In this film, the harshest truths — make that “truths” — are best served in small doses.
- 60Film ThreatDante JamesFilm ThreatDante JamesThis film moves in directions that make you scratch your head more than sympathize for the character.
- 50VarietyNick SchagerVarietyNick SchagerDubbed “a documentary about a fairytale,” Manchevski’s film leaps around in time before eventually indulging in some magic realism, but it’s most compelling when simply fixating on Rashad, who makes Bikini at once wounded and tough, conniving and kind, desperate and volatile.
