Five | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Five | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The character dynamics are what drive this pensive and minimalist movie. Rated: 3/4 Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Five | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Francois Truffaut Cahiers du Cinéma A film of great honesty, of evenhanded sincerity and genuine naivete, Five imposes upon us the notion of getting along with people, which is very pleasant in our times. May 6, 2022 Full Review Five | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nell Dodson Russell Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Give [Oboler] credit. He has produced a different picture with a small cast of unknowns. Jan 15, 2022 Full Review Five | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alberto Abuín Espinof 'Five' proposes an absolutely fascinating dystopia, with several characters facing a problem that surpasses all beliefs. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 4, 2019 Full Review Five | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Dull, talky, gloomy, pretentious, naive and slow-moving post-apocalyptic survival story of the unfit.

NiB Y Although not as smart as the movie wants you to think it is, it's still pretty entertaining and can get emotional at times. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review martin a Five people survive a nuclear fallout but have to deal with each other's issues, Sex, Racism, and illness. Its enjoyable if not a bit slow, So much more could have been done with the film, but the acting is good and the settings are great. Its more about the emotions of the people rather than what happened and why. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Morose post-apocalpytic drama centering on five survivors who amass inside a mountain-top cabin and attempt to begin life anew. Both the epilogue and prologue contain quotes from the Bible, with the flick acting as a new Adam and Eve analogy - but who gets Eve, is the question. Bleak, without a stitch of levity, this Hammer offering is played straight, as it reveals the horrors of man both en masse - and as individuals. ***/5* Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A deep interesting post-apocalyptic film. It doesn't handle everything smoothly, but it does enough to leave you thinking. Good characters, decent pacing, and a fair ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Said to be the first film to show a post apocalyptic world following a nuclear disaster. Much smarter than your typical 50s sci-fi fare, although the dialogue is a bit writerly at times. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member D/k if this is the right movie about 5 survivors of end of the world living in a Frank Loyd Wright house very cool. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
