What to Know

Critics Consensus

Outcome collapses under its own ambitions, playing as a garish, tonally erratic and heavy-handed satire that fumbles its intriguing ideas about stardom in an overlong and largely unfunny jumble of wasted talent.

2.5/5
With Hill as Reef’s abrasive lawyer, the film veers between crude and cuddly. Watch it for Reeves’ heartfelt reaction shots and Martin Scorsese’s small but perfectly played role. Go to Full Review

Ultimately Outcome needed a more refined, truthful director. Go to Full Review
Guy Lodge Variety Apr 14
It’s hard to imagine this mumbling, shambling man holding multiplex masses in his thrall. As such, he’s a poignant void, but a void nonetheless, and even at a slim 84 minutes, Hill’s doleful film can’t keep us interested in his plight. Go to Full Review

Maybe Jonah Hill is sorry for everything that he’s done. Maybe Outcome is the only way he knows how to express his apologies. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers May 17
Outcome is a film that starts and finishes at nearly the same place, with an 80 minute runtime - not enough encourages one to go through this turbulent experience within the bounds of Hollywood. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ May 7
One wonders if Hill the director shouldn’t have reined in Hill the character actor a touch more, in order to give Outcome a more consistent tone. Go to Full Review

Chance Maurice N @Chance-Maurice 1d Watching Outcome felt like a reflective journey through fame and personal accountability. I experienced Reef’s struggle as he faces a blackmail threat that forces him to confront his past mistakes and relationships, and it made me think about how easy it is to hide behind success while avoiding growth; my joyful takeaway is that true change begins when we honestly face ourselves, and even in difficult or uncomfortable situations, taking responsibility, making amends, and choosing authenticity can lead to real personal growth and a fresh start.

Show had a great cast, with the exception of Jonah Hill, who also scored wrote the film, probably the only reason he had a part. Honestly, just a waste of time! See more Charlie V @MsFeb14 3d I can't remember a movie that I disliked more than this one. There was not one funny moment in it, in spite of Hill's attempt with the ridiculous bathroom humor. As for Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz and other big names injected into the movie, their talent was completely wasted. Very sad.... See more Helene S @helene___ 6d It had great emotional exchanges, intriguing ideas, but I was surprised when it ended, it felt like we were just getting started. It was building to something that never happened, that's what it felt like. See more Eric C. @RT21047456 6d This was not a good movie, but it had potential. Jonah Hills character absolutely ruined this movie. Not a bad reflection on him as an actor – he played the character he was directed to. It could’ve easily been an enjoyable romcom or something like that, but the movie stinks. See more Chris C. @4bWatching Jun 8 Bad…just so bad. Not a comedy either. See more Read all reviews
