Written Reviews:
Michael O'Sullivan - The Washington Post
Awkwafina... injects a refreshing dash of street culture to a cast and story line that leans heavily on haute couture.
Between the sheen and the talented performers, "Ocean's 8" does eventually coast on froth and good will.
Ocean's 8 is in many ways a mirror image of its predecessor, but it's most delightful when it follows its own path toward girly transcendence.
I left Ocean's 8 more convinced than ever that no amount of fierce, fantastic female ensembles can overcome the mediocrity of a dull male director.
Lindsey Bahr - Associated Press
Perhaps there is something subversive to the idea that all Debbie has to do is social shame two security guys from entering a women's restroom, but we're there for a something more elaborate too.
Owen Glebierman - Variety (SPOILERS!!!)
"Ocean's 8" is a casually winning heist movie, no more and no less, but like countless films devoted to the exploits of cool male criminals, it lingers most...as a proudly scurrilous gallery of role models.
Plot-wise Ocean’s 8 cleaves closely to the tenets of Heist Movie Lore but does little to enliven or tweak the formula. It lacks the jazzy swagger of Soderbergh’s trio but delivers a fun, likeable romp built on the charm and charisma of its cast
Like a cubic zirconia knockoff of a priceless diamond necklace, this female “Ocean’s” update looks the part but just ain’t got that sparkle.
David Rooney - Hollywood Reporter
There's...something dispiritingly mechanical about the movie that makes it seem a missed opportunity.
Bullock and Co. are a pack of devious treasures who can ransack our shindig anytime.
We want to spend time with these characters, and when the film switches into heist mode, "Ocean's 8" loses sight of the women who drive it, opting to focus on a heist that's fun, but not nearly as fun as watching the characters prepare for it.
