Leave your thoughts about A Crooked Somebody.
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiOften uncomfortable and all the better for it, A Crooked Somebody doesn’t mind watching its characters squirm a little. That’s tough for them but good for us in this highly enjoyable thriller. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghA Crooked Somebody (the title derives from pastor Sam’s unheeded advice that “it’s better to be an honest nobody…”) is a meticulously balanced blend of character-based drama and genre conventions. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonWorking from a smartly constructed script by Andrew Zilch, director Trevor White (“Jamesy Boy”) does an impressive job of propelling the narrative along parallel tracks of arrestingly suspenseful thriller and knowing media satire. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA Crooked Somebody is smarter than the usual thriller. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIt’s not a groundbreaking piece of work, and I wish it embraced its indie, Hartley-esque roughness a bit more instead of trying to be too polished in the final act, but it’s always nice when a movie with little to no buzz sneaks up on you like this one did for me. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakA Crooked Somebody develops into a resonant character study depicting the myriad ways we take advantage of others. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreDirector Trevor White is more known as a producer (“Wind River” and “Ingrid Goes West”), and he’s not bad at maintaining suspense in producer/screenwriter Andrew Zilch of Youtube’s “Good Mythical Morning” somewhat predictable script. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinSommer, who did fine supporting work on TV’s “Mad Men,” doesn’t prove a distinctive or charismatic enough presence to carry an entire film, especially one as uneven as this. |
