Debbie Ocean assembles an all-female team of thieves and specialists for a heist during the Met Gala, aiming for the $150 million worth of diamonds around the neck of world-famous actress Daphne Kluger.
Ocean's 8 isn't quite as smooth as its predecessors, but still has enough cast chemistry and flair to lift the price of a ticket from filmgoers up for an undemanding caper.

| 242379 | Ash Jefferson | But Why Tho? | Fresh | 6/10 | 2023-01-22T22:32:17.000Z | 2023-01-22 22:32:17 | Oceans 8 was a great time! It does suffer from some pacing issues in the middle and I do think it’s about 20 minutes too long but as a fan of Ocean’s 11 I think this is as good a successor as one could ask for. |
| 242380 | Brian Eggert | Deep Focus Review | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2022-03-11T04:47:28.000Z | 2022-03-11 04:47:28 | Had Ocean's 8 been at least as visually distinct as Soderbergh undoubtedly would have made it, the movie might be more than another of Hollywood's forgettable reboot-sequel things. |
| 242381 | Cory Woodroof | 615 Film | Fresh | — | 2022-02-11T01:46:37.000Z | 2022-02-11 01:46:37 | To call this film average would be to deny its uncanny ability to entertain. |

| 242383 | Sophie Charara | NME (New Musical Express) | Rotten | — | 2021-04-28T22:40:39.000Z | 2021-04-28 22:40:39 | It's OK to say Ocean's 8 isn't that great but that, in the right hands, a similar spin-off or copycat could be. |
| 242384 | Don Shanahan | Every Movie Has a Lesson | Fresh | 3/5 | 2021-04-14T04:10:29.000Z | 2021-04-14 04:10:29 | Let "Ocean's 8" be marvelous for what it is and not curved by who is in it and which chromosomes they have. |
| 242385 | Aya de Leon | Bitch Media | Fresh | — | 2021-03-05T16:31:06.000Z | 2021-03-05 16:31:06 | The star-studded cast delivered some great performances, but ultimately, the all-women team served up their heist with a side of marketplace feminism. |
| 242386 | Jesse Hassenger | SportsAlcohol | Fresh | B- | 2021-02-05T15:51:28.000Z | 2021-02-05 15:51:28 | This is all much less clever than Soderbergh's movies, less eager to wheedle audiences' expectations or stars' vanity. |

A her gets ignored." In daily life, that's a tragedy, but when you're masterminding a heist, it's opportunistic gold. |

| 242392 | Allen Almachar | The MacGuffin | Fresh | B | 2020-07-13T15:40:45.000Z | 2020-07-13 15:40:45 | In terms of structure and execution, it doesn't do much that we haven't seen before. But with this cast, the appeal is entirely within their chemistry. |
| 242393 | Damond Fudge | KCCI (Des Moines, IA) | Fresh | — | 2020-07-06T22:21:53.000Z | 2020-07-06 22:21:53 | Ocean's 8 continues the Ocean's Series tradition of being a fun, slick and twisty heist film. Yet, there's a little something missing that keeps it from being nearly as fun, slick and twisty as its predecessors. |
| 242394 | Ricardo Gallegos | Pólvora | Rotten | — | 2020-07-05T01:11:42.000Z | 2020-07-05 01:11:42 | The film tries to cover the logic gaps with comedy, but the jokes are so bad they somehow worsen the experience. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 242395 | Fiona Underhill | JumpCut Online | Fresh | 3/5 | 2020-07-02T05:40:53.000Z | 2020-07-02 05:40:53 | The sparkling and in some cases, sizzling chemistry between the cast is definitely the main strength of this film. There is undeniable tension between Bullock and Blanchett especially. |
| 242396 | Steven Prokopy | Third Coast Review | Fresh | — | 2020-06-15T23:11:08.000Z | 2020-06-15 23:11:08 | The pure joy of seeing this bold and thrilling film work so consistently makes it easy to overlook these minor shortcomings. |

| 242399 | J. R. Jones | Chicago Reader | Fresh | — | 2020-03-24T19:21:27.000Z | 2020-03-24 19:21:27 | Director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, The Hunger Games), who wrote the story and collaborated with Olivia Milch on the screenplay, closely follows the Soderbergh formula of wry humor, nimble plotting, and wall-to-wall bass riffs. |
| 242400 | Peter Gray | The AU Review | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2020-02-15T13:10:33.000Z | 2020-02-15 13:10:33 | Steers ahead on charm and glamour, proving that an octet of women can do anything just as capable as an eleven-strong crew of men, if not more so |
| 242401 | Chris McCoy | Memphis Flyer | Fresh | — | 2020-01-17T21:22:46.000Z | 2020-01-17 21:22:46 | Director Gary Ross fundamentally lacks the Soderbergh snap that was on display in last year's Logan Lucky. But if you're just in it to look at some of the best actresses in the business pal around for a frothy summer treat, Ocean's 8 will do just fine. |

| 242404 | Jeff York | Creative Screenwriting | Rotten | — | 2019-10-17T20:12:35.000Z | 2019-10-17 20:12:35 | "Ocean's 8", on far too many levels, really misses the mark. |

| 242406 | Hannah Giorgis | The Atlantic | Fresh | — | 2019-09-10T00:31:39.000Z | 2019-09-10 00:31:39 | There's a sweet satisfaction in watching as Ocean pulls it off. |

| 242408 | Leslie Combemale | Patch | Fresh | B | 2019-07-24T20:42:25.000Z | 2019-07-24 20:42:25 | It's a smart, gorgeous, well-acted flick that just happens to star women, and women being women in all the best ways. |
| 242409 | Matt Brunson | Film Frenzy | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2019-07-18T19:32:57.000Z | 2019-07-18 19:32:57 | To paraphrase Julie Andrews (and maybe Emily Blunt?) as Mary Poppins, Debbie's plan is practically perfect in every way -- which helps explain why the movie is anything but. |
| 242410 | Dominic Griffin | Spectrum Culture | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-07-17T23:03:08.000Z | 2019-07-17 23:03:08 | The beauty of Ocean's 8 lies less in director Gary Ross' unspectacular execution than in the sturdy foundation of its near-perfect premise. |
| 242411 | Mikel Zorrilla | Espinof | Rotten | 3/5 | 2019-07-17T00:01:39.000Z | 2019-07-17 00:01:39 | It is entertaining and its protagonists are very inspired in their roles, but it lacks something that defines it as an individual entity beyond its female cast. [Full Review in Spanish] |

| 242413 | Rucha Sharma | DNA India | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2019-07-10T00:16:39.000Z | 2019-07-10 00:16:39 | A bland story can give only so much wiggle room even when you have Oscar-winning stars leading the film. Watch it once, or wait for streaming or Blu- Ray's to come out. You are not missing much. |
| 242414 | Ryan Syrek | The Reader (Omaha, NE) | Fresh | A- | 2019-06-18T20:07:58.000Z | 2019-06-18 20:07:58 | There should be sequels. Plural. Give us one of these movies every other summer until this cast has stolen every bit of joy there is to plunder from the franchise. To watch Ocean's 8 is to want more of everything and everyone involved. |
| 242415 | Mattie Lucas | From the Front Row | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2019-06-03T18:56:29.000Z | 2019-06-03 18:56:29 | The cast is fun to watch (Awkwafina is a special delight all her own), but without any conflict the movie simply glides by without leaving much of an impression. |
| 242416 | Andrew Kendall | Stabroek News | Fresh | — | 2019-05-21T18:42:53.000Z | 2019-05-21 18:42:53 | Gary Ross' direction is strangely airless (functional but significantly less funny than you would expect) but the entire cast is committing to the sweeping stylishness of it all. |
| 242417 | Kaitlyn Booth | Bleeding Cool | Fresh | 8.5/10 | 2019-05-15T22:20:01.000Z | 2019-05-15 22:20:01 | Ocean's 8 has perfectly captured what made the George Clooney era of movies so good with a fantastic cast, a great sense of style, and a twist that will leave you grinning. |
| 242418 | Deirdre Molumby | entertainment.ie | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-05-06T11:00:31.000Z | 2019-05-06 11:00:31 | Ocean's 8 can feel like it's trying a little too hard to be cool. For the most part though, it's fine. |
| 242419 | Wendy Shreve | Featuring Film | Rotten | — | 2019-04-03T22:46:24.000Z | 2019-04-03 22:46:24 | But all the glitz and glamour can't replace a good script--derivative, a combo of Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve--or an engaging story. |
| 242420 | Sameen Amer | The Express Tribune (Pakistan) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2019-03-21T21:26:37.000Z | 2019-03-21 21:26:37 | The heist is never as thrilling as it should be. Ocean's 8 is a typical, by-the-numbers heist caper that never turns into something special. |
| 242421 | Francis X. Friel | Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) | Rotten | 2/5 | 2019-03-20T23:16:46.000Z | 2019-03-20 23:16:46 | While the all-star cast is the best thing going for it, the film lacks the energy, style and overall sense of cinematic fun offered up by even the least of the Clooney-led "originals." |
| 242422 | Rachel Wagner | rachelsreviews.net | Rotten | 4/10 | 2019-02-28T00:05:56.000Z | 2019-02-28 00:05:56 | The setup is a bit of a slog and the score doesn't work. |

| 242424 | Tom Bond | One Room With A View | Fresh | 4/5 | 2019-02-12T20:38:09.000Z | 2019-02-12 20:38:09 | If you can take the plot holes you won't find a more relaxing or entertaining film. |

| 242426 | Andrea Thompson | The Spool | Rotten | — | 2019-02-02T01:21:58.000Z | 2019-02-02 01:21:58 | There is never a moment when the movie allows us to forget its regressive expectations about women want, or what they should be. |

Staging the heist at the Met Gala is genius. The dresses! The cameos, probably including several by people I didn't recognise! The soup! |

| 242446 | Cameron Frew | FrewFilm | Rotten | 2/5 | 2018-10-31T21:19:59.000Z | 2018-10-31 21:19:59 | A slapdash heist caper with an enjoyable breeziness but a frustrating lack of suspense. |
| 242447 | Micheal Compton | Bowling Green Daily News | Fresh | B- | 2018-10-25T15:38:01.000Z | 2018-10-25 15:38:01 | The cast is good enough that they work with the limitations they are given and, for the most part, create some fun characters. |
| 242448 | Mario Alegre | Próxima Tanda (Substack) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-10-24T14:55:44.000Z | 2018-10-24 14:55:44 | It's fun enough, but this excellent cast shouldn't have to settle for a watered down version of what the guys had on their first outing. |
| 242449 | Li Lai | Mediaversity Reviews | Fresh | B | 2018-10-17T21:59:48.000Z | 2018-10-17 21:59:48 | Actors' performances buoy this otherwise derivative plot, and director Gary Ross knows how to milk it. |
| 242450 | Sean Collier | Pittsburgh Magazine | Rotten | 5/10 | 2018-10-17T20:47:23.000Z | 2018-10-17 20:47:23 | You probably won't regret seeing Ocean's 8 -- because you won't have any feelings about it at all. |
| 242451 | Justin Kirkland | Esquire Magazine | Fresh | — | 2018-10-16T22:32:20.000Z | 2018-10-16 22:32:20 | Let Ocean's 8 be the moment where all the Hatha-haters out there realize they've been wrong all along. Because Hathaway never stopped being a phenomenal actress, it was just everyone else who stopped paying attention. |
| 242452 | Doug Jamieson | The Jam Report | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-10-16T14:46:04.000Z | 2018-10-16 14:46:04 | Glaring plot holes and narrative missteps aside, it's still a roaring good time and moves at a cracking pace. |
| 242453 | Tomas Trussow | The Lonely Film Critic | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-10-12T08:03:41.000Z | 2018-10-12 08:03:41 | While there's a flatness and predictability to the film that bothered me, the cast ended up saving it, chewing their lines like soft toffee and kicking in the winks and nudges that kept things lively and swinging. |
| 242454 | Nguyên Lê | InSession Film | Fresh | B | 2018-10-11T05:52:28.000Z | 2018-10-11 05:52:28 | Everyone in Ocean's 8 aims to impress - not to hear regressive spiel, in other words - and "with zest" plus "with gloss" are the aptest descriptors for how that job went down. |
| 242455 | Nate Adams | The Only Critic | Fresh | B | 2018-10-11T01:36:08.000Z | 2018-10-11 01:36:08 | Ocean's 8 knows exactly what its trying to accomplish. It wants to show the audience a good time, and (mostly) succeeds. |
| 242456 | Joe Friar | The Victoria Advocate | Rotten | 2.5/4 | 2018-10-10T14:51:49.000Z | 2018-10-10 14:51:49 | The film operates in safe-mode, nothing risqué or adventurous, but a heist film must have some sense of danger and these ladies make it look way too easy. |
| 242457 | Aaron Peterson | The Hollywood Outsider | Rotten | 4.5/10 | 2018-10-10T14:49:27.000Z | 2018-10-10 14:49:27 | Ocean's 8 boasts a solid cast, but lacks a coherent script to balance their charm. |
| 242458 | Melissa Anderson | 4Columns | Rotten | — | 2018-09-25T23:39:18.000Z | 2018-09-25 23:39:18 | Throughout this desultory, dreary movie, odd lines of dialogue pop up that seem to perversely comment on the sheer superfluity of Ocean's 8. |
| 242459 | Jeffrey M. Anderson | Combustible Celluloid | Fresh | 3/4 | 2018-09-14T18:30:15.000Z | 2018-09-14 18:30:15 | Has just about as much flash and swagger as the 2001 reboot of Ocean's Eleven, and more than the 1960 original or the sequels. |
| 242460 | Funmi Sunmonu | Add This To Your List | Fresh | — | 2018-09-13T22:01:19.000Z | 2018-09-13 22:01:19 | I almost wish I didn't see it in the theater, and I'd just waited until it was on Redbox. |
| 242461 | Felix Vasquez Jr. | Cinema Crazed | Fresh | — | 2018-09-13T18:10:05.000Z | 2018-09-13 18:10:05 | A perfectly fine heist film with a good sense of humor, a largely talented cast (James Corden excluded), and immense style... |
| 242462 | Luke Y. Thompson | Forbes | Fresh | — | 2018-09-12T07:55:15.000Z | 2018-09-12 07:55:15 | Ironically, director Gary Ross' impersonation of the Soderbergh style is more Soderbergh than the man himself was able to be on the first one |
| 242463 | Mike McGranaghan | Aisle Seat | Fresh | 3/4 | 2018-09-11T23:11:03.000Z | 2018-09-11 23:11:03 | Ocean's 8 has its own identity while still fitting snugly into the established parameters of the franchise. |
| 242464 | Karen M. Peterson | AwardsCircuit.com | Fresh | 3/4 | 2018-09-01T00:26:26.000Z | 2018-09-01 00:26:26 | "Ocean's 8" doesn't solve Hollywood's gender issues, nor does it try to. This isn't a movie that seeks to change the world or make a statement. It exists simply because it can. And for that reason, yes it should. |
| 242465 | Lisa Nesselson | France24 | Rotten | — | 2018-08-31T21:21:58.000Z | 2018-08-31 21:21:58 | Mildly engaging, completely disposable...I enjoyed this more than I did Solo, but that is damning and faint praise. |
| 242466 | Oggs Cruz | Rappler | Rotten | — | 2018-08-31T21:08:17.000Z | 2018-08-31 21:08:17 | It overdoes the statement, but underdoes the fun. While there is still a lot in the film to enjoy, it has too many bumps and ponderous moments. |
| 242467 | Rosie Fletcher | Den of Geek | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-08-29T00:08:32.000Z | 2018-08-29 00:08:32 | It's a sparkly, joyful, warm and witty delight. And it definitely shouldn't be ignored. |
| 242468 | Jared Mobarak | Jaredmobarak.com | Fresh | 6/10 | 2018-08-28T18:42:18.000Z | 2018-08-28 18:42:18 | Bullock, Blanchett, and the rest fit into [the] same blueprint with ease, the rushed nature of their final act the only glaring misstep as convenience appears to usurp smarts. |
| 242469 | Mark Kermode | Kermode & Mayo's Film Review | Fresh | — | 2018-08-28T02:29:45.000Z | 2018-08-28 02:29:45 | It's bright and breezy. It's frothily directed. It's entertainingly played by an ensemble cast, all of whom appear to be having a really good time. |
| 242470 | Abbie Bernstein | Assignment X | Fresh | B+ | 2018-08-28T00:05:56.000Z | 2018-08-28 00:05:56 | OCEAN'S 8 is exactly what it sets out to be: a snappy, gorgeous caper movie, highlighting a lot of top-flight female actors. |
| 242471 | John Campea | The John Campea Show | Fresh | — | 2018-08-27T23:25:24.000Z | 2018-08-27 23:25:24 | I genuinely laughed throughout the film...there are some nice peppered-in cameos and surprises as well. |
| 242472 | Amanda Jane Robinson | Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-08-27T21:14:40.000Z | 2018-08-27 21:14:40 | A fine, fun film. It's just that it should have been so much better. |
| 242473 | Soumya Srivastava | Hindustan Times | Rotten | 2/5 | 2018-08-27T20:23:45.000Z | 2018-08-27 20:23:45 | Ocean's 8 fails to work not due to its all-star cast but because of director Gary Ross' lazy storytelling, lack of imagination and the film's glacial pace. |
| 242474 | Annie Banks | Cultured Vultures | Rotten | — | 2018-08-27T19:29:31.000Z | 2018-08-27 19:29:31 | With such a strong cast and a strong feminist themes, the film itself is disappointing. The plot is half-baked and cliche. |
| 242475 | Robert Daniels | 812filmreviews | Fresh | 2.5/4 | 2018-08-27T02:55:54.000Z | 2018-08-27 02:55:54 | For Ocean's 8's part, the film is entertaining and hilarious, with much of the cast saving what's an uneventful and predictable script until the final exhilarating heist scene. |
| 242476 | Rendy Jones | Rendy Reviews | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2018-08-24T23:24:02.000Z | 2018-08-24 23:24:02 | Ocean's 8 may have a star studded ensemble to compensate for its very thin script, but this generically formuliac spinoff lacks the thrills or tension to serve a fully entertaining heist film. |
| 242477 | Clarisse Loughrey | That Darn Movie Show | Fresh | — | 2018-08-24T16:46:28.000Z | 2018-08-24 16:46:28 | Ocean's 8 works as a piece of pure, Old Hollywood-style entertainment; taking the basic structure of the heist movie and allowing it to be a playground for star power. |
