- 80The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe New York TimesGlenn KennyThe measured tone with which the movie presents its ostensible revelations is more than half the fun; nothing that comes up is ever played as a twist; the aforementioned opening scene shows Munch’s hand deliberately.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperI won’t divulge any more so you can experience the cool madness of The 11th Green for yourself. Suffice to say it’s out of this world.
- 75Original-CinLiam LaceyOriginal-CinLiam LaceyThe 11th Green is presented in a deadpan, naïve tone of a fifties’ B-movie or a low-budget X-Files knock-off. The smeary sci-fi effects are deliberately hokey, in contrast to the authentic home movies and newsreel footage. Indeed, the sci-fi story is a kind of feint.
- 70The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe New YorkerRichard BrodyThe extraordinarily imaginative new feature by Christopher Munch, The 11th Green, stakes out a genre unto itself: poli-sci-fi, a fusion of science fiction and the history-rooted political thriller.
- 50Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustThere are a number of sharp political and philosophical points made, but they are undercut by “The 11th Green’s” overload of history, speculation and fantasy that strands it in a narrative Bermuda Triangle.
