After its Tribeca premiere, John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review by stating “Lost Transmissions gave a sympathetic and appropriately downtempo look at a musician’s mental illness. The film tells its story without engaging with foolish cliches about creativity and madness.” Joey Magidson of Hollywood News also gave a positive review by stating “Simon Pegg and Juno Temple have never been better, exercising new acting muscles and causing you to re-evaluate what each is capable of.” Kristy Strouse of Film Inquiry gave another positive review by stating “Lost Transmissions really finds its identity in the softer moments between our two leads, as the heartbreak comes to the surface and they acknowledge their own (and each other’s) struggles.” Andy Howell of Film Threat felt that viewers who “might see Lost Transmissions just for Simon Pegg will come away with a deeper sense of what schizophrenia is”.
Conversely, Alex Papaioannou of Popaxiom gave a mixed review by stating “Lost Transmissions takes the form of a bright spotlight that is necessary to expose harsh realities, and hopefully promote change. Unfortunately, there are times when these examples come off as misguided or played for laughs, which is upsetting whether intentional or not. This debut is a film about mental health and music, and while an important subject matter, it doesn’t necessarily hit all the marks that it should. Still, Simon Pegg is absolutely fantastic and confirms his serious acting skills.” Owen Gleiberman of Variety also gave a mixed review by stating “Lost Transmissions is a murky and unfocused journey, set in a Los Angeles that looks as sodden as London on an overcast day.”
Emily Sears of Birth.Movies.Death. gave a negative review by stating “The plot of Lost Transmissions limits the performances, seesawing back and forth too often between Theo manipulating the system and Hannah being too stubborn to give up.”
