Garrett's WorldJan 20, 2023Eminem's Stan meets Whiplash moments with strong Taxi Driver vibes but still tackles the subject in an interesting and fresh way. Still need to mull over it a bit and I'm not sure how I feel about aspects of the second half but an amazing performance out of Majors

Magazine Dreams joins the canon of films fixated on lonely, obsessed, and rage-filled men. The narrative beats are familiar but Jonathan Majors delivers a staggering performance as Killian Maddox, a bodybuilder who's turned his physique into both armor and prison. Killian…

I was completely transfixed by Jonathan Majors’ performance which is enough to give this film a recommendation. His portrayal of the singular Killian Maddox is a thing of beauty, but his Magazine Dreams quickly turn into real nightmares as he grapples with personal demons.…
Kevflix And ChillApr 9, 2025If it weren’t for the scandal surrounding Jonathan Majors, I firmly believe he would have been in serious contention for awards recognition. His performance in Magazine Dreams is nothing short of transformative—raw, bruising, and profoundly human. He vanishes into the role…
Christian HaMar 20, 2025Just a reminder that you do not need to go out and see Magazine Dreams nor support Jonathan Majors as every new bit of information that releases makes him further indefensible. I saw this at Sundance when it premiered and it is just Taxi Driver rehashed once again. The…

Woww, this is one of, if not the best movie 2025 is going to give us. Insaane. Amazing amazing acting from Jonathan he absolutely killed that role. Weird how I never heard of him before. Now that I'm aware of his past issues, I just know some of these scenes weren't acting. The-
Tate lovedMagazine DreamsDepression and Obsession don’t mix well. Johnathan Majors puts on an Oscar worthy performance portraying a body builder that will push his mental and physical limits to leave his lasting mark on the world. Movie gives off a body building version of black swan or whiplash 8.0/10
Heather likedMagazine Dreams7.8/10 Jonathon Majors put on an incredible performance. This movie covers so many troubling topics, kind of a slower dark movie but kept my attention. Someone described it as “the body builder’s black swan” which is pretty accurate. Loneliness, mental illness, and obsession.

One of those slow movie that are kinda dark, but it was to dark and boring for me. Good if you like that kinda stuff.

one of the strangest movies i’ve ever seen. went into this w expectations of a lonely story to coming out with beatings, SA, and murder. this movie was so disturbing but johnathan majors puts on a career shaking performance. magazine dreams is haunting and sad but speaks loud
Quavo lovedMagazine DreamsLove and hate this movie. The first half had me really intrigued, it showed jonathon majors as a mentally ill bodybuilder going thru struggles, and his acting was so good. Second half takes an unusual turn and is very random. His physique was amazing and so was his acting
Cam Corrigan lovedMagazine DreamsJonathan Majors KILLED this role. It’s an engaging film about obsession with one of the best performances i’ve seen in a while. Naturally I went to the gym after watching this and was able to lift heavier than usual, mainly because I want to look like him (ironically).

This is a story that was only good thanks largely in part to Jonathan Major’s amazing performance. Definitely Oscar worthy!
TETaylor EllisVery intense. The movie was a little jumbled with scene jumps. The acting was amazing. I just think the production will be tough to connect. Majors acts his butt off. Just wish it would have been less intense

It’s an all-in performance for the ages, layered with as much vulnerability as anger, and it’s to Majors’ credit that our hearts ache for Killian even — or perhaps especially — when he’s out of control.

Killian’s spiral is intense and unpleasant but we’re not left at the end with much other than respect for technique. The film, like Killian, is all muscle.
