I can 100% see why some will hate Digger. They will call it pretentious & say they did not connect with the characters. That criticism is not entirely invalid.

But I loved it. I had a great time and thought it had a compelling and unique way to tell its story.

Digger is a self-indulgent mess of a film... and I loved it. This won't be for everyone, but if you get past the heavy-handedness of the story you will have a great time. Tom Cruise really goes for it!

#DiggerMovie left me exhilarated, angry, baffled, captivated, frustrated and utterly in disbelief. So in short, I think loved it. What Iñárritu and Cruise have crafted here is one of the most unique film experiences I've had in quite some time, unlike anything I've seen this… pic.twitter.com/gnG3JISpKm

Perfectly balanced on a difficult topic, stunning scenery and direction as well as an overall performance by Tom Cruise and the rest of the actors.
Whether you believe or not in the presented matter, you can't leave the theater without feeling… pic.twitter.com/CXnHGcRvRl

However, some viewers did not connect with the film and criticised its confusing and self-indulgent narrative. A few reactions described the movie as difficult to watch and felt that its attempt to convey a deeper meaning did not work.
DIGGER is absolute agony to watch, which might be sort of the point, but still. Torture. https://t.co/ieS0kvlPIs

WTF is this movie even about? Nothing in the previews even explains it or hints to what it is. Just a bunch of random nonsense.
— Mr. Joshua (@MrJoshua3577) October 1, 2026
Nothing being advertised makes me want to see it or even remotely interested in it
Digger is extremely self indulgent slog that spends its entire runtime trying to convince you of a deeper meaning to all its wild swings that simply isn't there. Full review via @GeekVibesNation here https://t.co/Q8dM6PMKFr
