and 38 on Metacritic (based on five reviews). Dread Central and The Hollywood Reporter both wrote mixed reviews, and Dread Central commented that while the film was "nicely shot" and the acting was good, the final portion of the film was "hard to follow and sometimes even hard to see" and, "By the time I got to the final ten minutes, I had had enough of the ongoing trippy scenes and was absolutely ready for the end." IndieWire criticized Mr. Jones for never fully delivering on its promise and compared it negatively to films created in "screenwriting classes during workshop sessions", as they felt that the movie was "sloppy". In contrast, Bloody Disgusting praised the movie and stated the film, "captures the visuals of a nightmare" and "gives the deeper viewer plenty of panicked thrills". Twitch Film also gave a mostly positive review, noting that the film would not appeal to all audiences. One Star Classics largely agreed, emphasizing that fans of surreal films might get more enjoyment from the movie.
