Movie Reviews

The Arts Desk - 10/10 by Jasper ReesThe outcome of the whodunnit is known to those who know, but for all the many red herrings and MacGuffins, a smattering of hints were dropped that the clever culprit would emerge from the left field.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by David NohIn many ways, this is the most dramatically satisfying of any Agatha Christie film adaptation-plus it's a real treat to look at.
Daily Mail (UK) - 10/10 by Christopher StevensWriter Julian Fellowes's tendency to shove pompous, verbose dialogue into his characters' mouths suited this adaptation perfectly.
Stuff.co.nz - 8/10 by Graeme TuckettI'd say this is exactly the way Christie deserves to be done. Among all the expected humour, frocks and settings there is some grit and resolve about this film.
Variety - 7/10 by Peter DebrugeWith such an enticing cast, it’s tougher than one might think trying to divine which of these eccentrics might be responsible for the crime, and “Crooked House” keeps you guessing, right up to its shocking conclusion.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 7/10 by Emily YoshidaIt has its creaky corners, but there are enough twists and shocks to keep it engaging throughout.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 6/10 by Gerard O'DonovanAll in all, a hugely enjoyable, sumptuous adaptation that, while never attempting to break the Christie mould, imbued the story with a pleasingly contemporary feel.
Herald Sun (Australia) - 6/10 by Leigh PaatschAn unpretentious Agatha Christie-penned murder mystery every bit as good as last year's all-star hit Murder on the Orient Express.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Glenn KennyThe superb cast provides mild pleasures, as do some aspects of the elaborate mystery itself. And that’s all, folks.
Blu-ray.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfOf the two recent Christie efforts, it's the tighter, more compelling endeavor, providing a jolt of evil to go along with all the psychological gamesmanship.
