The reported 235-minute presentation includes a 10-minute intermission in at least one account; a “perfect Rotten Tomatoes debut” for the film has not been verified. The 93% score and 235 reviews sometimes associated with that claim belong to a different film, Tony.
What is Musk about?
Musk is Alex Gibney’s documentary about Elon Musk. TheWrap describes it as an examination of Musk’s influence and public life. Its report quotes the film’s official logline, which calls it “An incisive look behind the legend of Elon Musk, the world’s most heralded ‘investor-entrepreneur’ who has enormous influence on the world in which we all live.” That wording is the film’s marketing description, not an independent assessment.

How long is the documentary?
TheWrap lists a runtime of 235 minutes. Pixel Twelve says the Venice presentation consisted of 225 minutes of film plus a 10-minute intermission, making the total time in the venue 235 minutes. That account does not establish that every theatrical screening will use the same format. Check the specific theater’s listing to see whether its stated duration includes an intermission.
When does Musk come out in theaters?
TheWrap reported that Bleecker Street planned a U.S. theatrical release for October 16, 2026. Pixel Twelve reported select screenings in Los Angeles and New York beginning October 9, but those dates and locations were not confirmed against official theater listings. Check local listings for screening times and availability rather than assuming the reported limited screenings are playing at a particular venue.
Is there a Rotten Tomatoes score for Musk?
No Rotten Tomatoes score or review count for Musk was established in the available reporting. The 93% Tomatometer score from 235 reviews belongs to Tony, a separate film about Anthony Bourdain, according to Rotten Tomatoes. It should not be attributed to Gibney’s documentary.
The New York Times reviewed Musk after a Toronto International Film Festival screening. Its reviewer argued that the 235-minute runtime was both too long to hold interest and too short to do the subject justice. That is one critic’s view, not a Rotten Tomatoes score or evidence of a broader critical consensus.
Will a longer version stream?
TheWrap reported that a longer version of Musk was planned for HBO in 2027. No specific streaming date was given, so the report does not establish when it will be available to watch.
