- 83ColliderMarco Vito OddoColliderMarco Vito OddoOf course, Gardner’s documentary will please horror fans above anyone else. Still, Living with Chucky is a thoughtful study of how filmmaking, especially independent filmmaking, brings people together.
- 65Film ThreatFilm ThreatIf you are new to the Child’s Play/Chucky universe, the informative side might be stretched too thin. However, for fans of the snarky killer doll, Gardner has crafted a gleeful celebration of all things Chucky.
- 58Original-CinThom ErnstOriginal-CinThom ErnstWithout anything more than the heralding of a cult figure, Living with Chucky becomes a Chucky lovefest relying solely on reminiscing the good times; the kind of interviews that used to be added as a DVD extra.
- 40The GuardianPhil HoadThe GuardianPhil HoadThe close-knit ethos might well explain the franchise’s gleefully perverse sense of fun, but the truth is this love-in features too much filler.
- With an influential history to mine, it’s a shame the franchise-spanning documentary Living With Chucky, written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, feels like hagiographic DVD featurettes meanderingly stitched together.
