Reviews

It’s not exactly doing anything new, but it’s a muscular and textured piece of work that shifts assuredly through tones and genre, features a rich and rewarding performance from Cage, and another excellent turn from his young co-star Tye Sheridan.

If Joe marks a new beginning for some of its characters, the same description applies to its director and star.

The Guardian
Joe also stands as a reminder of what a terrific actor Cage can be when he is able to harness and channel his wilder impulses.
80
Cage, not one known for subtlety of late, is truly great in this sad, funny and tender role.

The Dissolve
Joe’s brilliance doesn’t lie in its destination, but in the gripping, intense, surprisingly joyous and funny journey it takes to get there.
