The Critique: quick answers
How do I make my own The Critique reaction video?
Open the reaction recorder on your phone at reactr.film/studio/the-critique, choose camera or voice only, and press record while the trailer plays. Reactr captures your reaction and gives you a share-ready clip when the trailer ends. It is free.
Do I have to be on camera?
No. Voice Reaction mode records your commentary with the microphone only: the camera stays off, no face is recorded, and you still get a share-ready clip for your channel.
When does The Critique come out?
The Critique is scheduled to open in US theaters on September 4, 2026. Dates can shift, so check back for updates.
Who stars in The Critique?
Udit Singh Chauhan, Shubham Sasane, Kaustubh Govind, Muzamil Idrisi and Om Lalani lead the cast, directed by Kaustubh Govind.
Is Reactr free?
Yes. Recording reaction clips on Reactr is free, with no paywall on the finished clip. You own your clip and can post it to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, or anywhere else. Reactr makes money from studios and sponsors, not from creators.
