Critics consensus

“Dense, obtuse, but stimulating, Primer is a film for viewers ready for a cerebral challenge.”

RTAV ClubJun 16, 2017

Primer gains its seductive power by leaving the solution tantalizingly out of reach.

RTGuardianJun 16, 2017

Primer is off-putting: in trying to be elusive it's simply obstructive.

RTGuardianJun 16, 2017

An exhilarating, disturbing and funny experience.

RTGone With The TwinsNov 9, 2020

The storytelling is so confusing and the multiple timelines are so numerous that sorting out what exactly unfolds saps all the entertainment value.
