Olga Artemyeva of ScreenAnarchy gave the film a negative review and wrote, “The Revisionist sets off to explore a complicated process (which, to be fair, is hard to dramatize on screen, without fully going the Charlie Kaufman or David Cronenberg route), but ends up simplifying it instead.”[6]
Elizabeth Weitzman of TheWrap gave the film a mixed review and wrote, “Alex Vlack was awfully lucky to get Dustin Hoffman to center his narrative feature debut, which otherwise strains to reach its ambitions.”[7]
