The Playlist - Unnamed
The film is a gem, especially for anyone yearning for a superhero film that gleefully torches the familiar “good versus evil” formula and introduces far more sinister sensibilities.

IGN - Witney Seibold
Brightburn doesn't take its satire to any kind of satisfying extreme – although a mid-credits stinger does include a larger joke at work – but as a superhero murder thriller, it is perfectly entertaining.
60
The Guardian - Benjamin Lee
It’s a film that’s good enough that you want it to be better, a rare genre example of less not proving to be more.
58
IndieWire - Kate Erbland
The film’s bent towards revisionist superhero history is certainly compelling, but stuck in the confines of the horror genre, it flames out far more than it flies.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Frank Scheck
While not exactly original, the premise is certainly effective enough. But Brightburn lacks the visual stylization or wit to elevate it from the realm of the crudely effective B-movie.
