Leave your thoughts about A Kind of Murder.
| The PlaylistKimber MyersThe fine cinematography, set design and costumes only serve as a distraction from the sparsely drawn story and uninteresting characters. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"A Kind of Murder" has a handful of production achievements worth noting, but the rest is frustratingly forgettable. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice Frederick[Director Andy Goddard] just doesn't develop a level of intrigue or tension that you'd expect from a narrative that is built on double identities, perceptions, classism, and homicide. |
| Under the RadarAustin TrunickA Kind of Murder keeps viewers guessing and comes highly recommended to crime film fans; in particular, to those with an itch for something old-fashioned. |
| VarietyNick SchagerWhile thrills are mitigated by convoluted plotting and suspect character behavior, the film’s uniquely bleak twist on classic noir conventions is enlivening. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe story remains an academic argument, struggling to pierce the handsome surface. |
| We Got This CoveredLauren Humphries-BrooksThere’s too much that’s intriguing in this film to ignore it, and although the third act shows signs of strain, the first two acts more than justify the film’s existence. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonOften, Patricia Highsmith's novels are adapted into high-class affairs, but this thriller feels refreshingly small-time and pulpy, getting closer to the story's raw emotions and impulses. |
| Screen CommentNathanael HoodIt feels more like an exercise in defining the mechanics of suspense than in actually utilizing them. |
| Slant MagazineOleg IvanovThe film seems more interested in its art design then in fully developing the story's underlying sexual ethics. |
