As it episodically flirts with absurdism, black comedy, and other offbeat flavors, Level Up seems to be simply trying on different attitudes without owning them.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Viewers will likely be as confused as the protagonist as to what is going on, and the vague, episodic proceedings ultimately prove repetitive.
The Film Stage by Jared Mobarak
Level Up feels familiar without boring us because we’re unsure how Matt will get out of his next predicament devoid of the skillset necessary to fight his way through.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Unlovely and uninvolving, Level Up is a running-man cocktail of brutality spiked with low-level humor.
We Got This Covered by Matt Donato
There’s some fun to be had as this reality-show-gone-mad dashes about London’s streets, but never with enough character to be something unfamiliar.
Village Voice by Pete Vonder Haar
Director Adam Randall keeps the action tightly paced and the dialogue to a refreshing minimum, helping to heighten Matt's growing isolation.
