Critics Consensus

On the Rocks isn't as potent as its top-shelf ingredients might suggest, but the end result still goes down easy -- and offers high proof of Bill Murray's finely aged charm.

On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nell Minow AWFJ.org This is by far the warmest and most engaging film we have seen from Sofia Coppola, whose films have always made great use of spaces and silences. Dec 2, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Anna Smith Monocle [The characters live] quite a privileged existence, but one that's quite a pleasure to watch. Mar 13, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Donald Clarke Irish Times There are worse sins than allowing a director to coast smoothly through her favourite moves. Rated: 4/5 Feb 15, 2021 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine Coppola knows how to frame Murray so that his tired, fed up look gets the best lighting, and a low energy car chase is actually quite enjoyable Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Shadan Larki InSession Film On The Rocks is the movie equivalent of a perfect fall treat, warm and comforting. And very much worthy of your time. Rated: B+ Apr 19, 2024 Full Review On the Rocks (2020) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Greg Carlson Vague Visages Coppola has always shown an affinity for mixing laughter and introspection, and On the Rocks successfully deploys the strategy.

Horror fan 4 There was a lack of laughs and chemistry between Jones and Wayans characters. Bill was solid in certain scenes but overall not very good at all. Tim Treakle Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Albert W Enjoyed it... liked the ending. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Sedale S At its bare bones, this is a father-daughter adventure story. Rashida Jones and Bill Murray have really good chemistry, and the movie is at its best when they share the screen. With the exception of Marlon Waynes, the rest of the cast is just fluff to fill the story. I love Sofia Coppola’s style. Have always been a fan of her movies. On The Rocks is a story she tells of a perfect couple just going through life. It’s truly relatable and a good story to watch with your partner at night. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Misha C Rashida Jones is such a lovely actress. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review Tim M Sofia Coppola's direction remains slightly lax, but On the Rocks is elevated by charming performances from Rashida Jones and Bill Murray. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review David W Though well cast, On the Rocks only manages to hum along when Bill Murray is on screen thanks to an otherwise unengaging screenplay. He really steals the show and carries much of the story. Unfortunately, he is not the main character. I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
