The Oath
Description
When Chris, a high-strung news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the president, their reaction is disbelief. As the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris' own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents sends an already tense holiday gathering completely off the rails.

There are funny ideas brought up throughout but they're never fully developed because they're dropped by the second half of the film.

The Oath appears to crave several things at once, all diametrically opposed.
October 25, 2018
With his eye keenly trained on the various ways ideology manifests as personality, Barinholtz wrings both hilarity and dread out of the chaotic moment before hope is lost.
October 18, 2018
Political satire is one of the trickiest of genres; this one, running out of steam and nerve, ultimately becomes a too-familiar example of another genre: the 93-minute movie that feels way, way too long.

The dynamic is familiar and funny... The second half isn't nearly as satisfying, but the film still works as caustic social satire.
December 16, 2018
The Oath is one of the year's comedic gems.
October 24, 2018
[Barinholtz] lacks storytelling chops, aiming for wildly provocative satire but instead churning out a technically spotty screed.
October 18, 2018
I found it to be the equivalent of a free-swinging slugger who is willing to strike out once, twice, even three times - but then hits one clear out of the park. It's worth the risk-reward ratio.

The Oath does not rise to the level of Pieces of April, but it offers outlandish satire amid family politics in the midst of a national situation that calls for little thanksgiving.

"The Oath" has a sharp tongue and plenty to say about our times. It's just too bad it can't finish the conversation.
November 21, 2018
Jokey white bro solidarity doesn't seem like the kind of understanding across difference that we need now.
October 18, 2018
One thing that's admirable about The Oath is that Barinholtz never apologizes.
