	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"If the world were ending tomorrow, you'd probably want to spend your final hours with better company than the central duo in '4:44 Last Day on Earth' (...) less nihilistic and far less interesting companion piece to Lars von Trier's recent "Melancholia"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[Ferrara’s movies] are acts of defiance and affronts to conventional wisdom while at the same time thoroughly and disarmingly sincere, even to the point of sentimentality"	POS
United States	Drew Taylor IndieWire	"[It] envisions the apocalypse without much imagination (...) For all its arty posturing, there’s something anticlimactic and, ultimately, unfulfilling about ‘4:44.’"	NEG
United States	Walter Addiego SFGATE	"The movie is slapdash, and though it gains traction toward the end, viewers may finally feel puzzled or indifferent. You expect a bit more from the end of the world."	NEG
United States	The Hollywood Reporter	"If the setups are convincing (...) they sometimes play out implausibly, with shrill and sudden mood swings."	NEU
United States	Sam Adams AV Club	"In Abel Ferrara’s universe, even minor conflicts have a way of sounding like the end of the world"	POS
