Best two reviews:
1) The Playlist- Luce is a dangerous mind field and simply crackles with the kind of distressing pressure that is beginning to define America in every conversation we have about race, marginalization, social strata, woke politics and even marriage. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) The Film Stage- This film, ultimately, is a major work of contemporary American cinema: complex, beguiling, and full of meaty discussion points that will challenge audiences throughout 2019 and beyond. (Rating: 91) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
7) Film Threat- Luce is a quiet stunner, ready to unnerve you in unexpected ways. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >
8) The Hollywood Reporter- Teasing the viewer with ambiguous evidence is one thing, but the film doesn't seem to know what truth is behind the curtain. Luce the man remains unknown, and Luce the movie a missed opportunity. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
