San Francisco Chronicle

This work possesses an authentic charm, yet it carries a profoundly disheartening and nihilistic tone. A plot development leaves me, as a critic, struggling to appreciate it.

HeyUGuys

Aronofsky’s ‘Caught Stealing’ is his most impressive work in years, featuring yet another remarkable performance by Butler. This film marks the director’s most vibrant work in over a decade, demonstrating that he can captivate audiences without relying on grand symbolism.

Empire

Primarily, “Caught Stealing” offers an exhilarating, rowdy journey filled with the raw grittiness of New York City, yet its harder aspects can be challenging to bear for some readers.

ScreenDaily

In a somewhat less serious tone than intended, the muted colors seem to give an overly somber vibe for what should be a rambunctious movie. However, when Schreiber and D’Onofrio fully manifest in the final scenes of the film, it becomes evident that Stealing Caught Stealing could have displayed wild brutality if Aronofsky had made the action more exaggerated, and provided more screen time for the eccentric characters.

The Guardian

Darren Aronofsky skillfully guides his films with enthusiasm, style, and a touch of dark comedy that walks the fine line between naughtiness and malevolence.

Caught Stealing is out in cinemas now.
