	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"It’s just a shame that Franco’s dreams and ideas for this film weren’t as big as those of his protagonists."	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"'In Dubious Battle' isn’t a totally clear-cut good movie, but it’s a scrupulous and watchable one"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"[It] is the farthest thing imaginable from the titillating provocations for which Mr. Franco is notorious (...) It belongs to the literary subgenre that might be called James Franco’s eat-your-spinach movies."	NEG
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"There are elements of 'In Dubious Battle' that work but enough missteps to keep it from fully coming together the way one wishes it would (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"Dubiously made (...) Franco's third literary adaptation isn't worth crossing a picket line."	NEG
