Critics consensus

“Although Brightburn doesn't fully deliver on the pitch-black promise of its setup, it's still enough to offer a diverting subversion of the superhero genre.”

This is an interesting idea that I wish they had done more with.

Despite its simplicity, Brightburn's premise is filled with potential, but it struggles to find anything meaningful to say.

RTIrish TimesJul 5, 2019

The conceit works brilliantly until, in the closing 20 minutes, it clatters disappointingly into a fatal uncertainty.

Anyone that is a fan/tired of the superhero genre might get a kick out of this film. Horror fans will like the surprising amount of gore.
