Critic Reviews

Justin Chang, Variety
Smart characters don't always mean smart movies, and The Genius Club is no exception.
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News
The Genius Club is a stultifying, static movie about a group of people trapped in a dingy boardroom yelling at one another and their tormentor.
David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
A laughable mess of pretentious rambling and spiritual shallowness... gloriously, stupendously, exceptionally awful.
Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...plagued by uneven writing and acting ... but The Genius Club isn't a proselytizing tract or a preachment to the choir. It's an honest to gosh real movie.
Luke Y. Thompson, L.A. Weekly
Most of the movie is surprisingly effective at feeding the audience a liberal critique of capitalism, cleverly disguised as a thriller.
Norm Schrager, Filmcritic.com
a low-budget wannabe thriller that's anything but smart.
Frank Swietek, One Guy's Opinion
A pretentious gabfest...When one of the characters opines toward the close, 'This has been a complete waste of time,' you'll be hard pressed not to nod in agreement.
