Variety
Director Baget clearly strives to replicate the ersatz Dixie flavors of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" right down to the vintage '30s music in a film set in the 1970s, but nailing the Coen brothers' precisely calibrated style is far harder than it looks. Full Review

Village Voice
The film, directed by Jesse Baget, aims to be a satiric look at racism but at every turn flaunts the laws of logic and believability. Full Review
John DeFore
The Hollywood Reporter
Its low-rent cast and unappealing key art won't help at the box office, but viewers who stumble across it on cable may be pleasantly, if mildly, surprised. Full Review
Robert Abele
Los Angeles Times
A near complete exercise in mirthlessness and atonal satire, Cellmates is a sentence, all right. Full Review
