Leave your thoughts about Killer Joe.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe film is drowning in so much depraved gunk that subtleties are lost. The payoff is dandy anyway ... |
| Time OutKeith UhlichIt's McConaughey who is the real revelation: All Grim Reaper strut and cutthroat stare, he savors each of Letts's vividly ghoulish lines. |
| The AristocratAdam RossKiller Joe is a white-hot fever dream of a film. A toxic swill of sex and violence, Joe is mordantly funny, tantalizing and, ultimately, shocking. |
| We Got This CoveredWill ChadwickKiller Joe will both infuriate and impress, but when it impresses there is nothing quite like it. It plays on the senses and lingers in the mind, McConaughey is brilliant and Friedkin finds himself in his best form in years |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The film is drowning in so much depraved gunk that subtleties are lost. The payoff is dandy anyway ... |
| Globe and MailAdam NaymanCredit goes to the actors (especially Gershon) for giving almost as good as they get in seriously demanding roles, and to Friedkin for having what it takes – guts, chops and a refreshing lack of artistic caution – to bring things thundering home. |
| New YorkerAnthony LaneEven if you like your movies sick and black, as many people do, it's hard to miss the irony: in the very act of trying to intensify his Southern tale, Friedkin dilutes the impact. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonFriedkin, a son of Chicago's working-class South Side who has swerved back and forth over the thin blue line of order and chaos throughout his career, is a fine fit to the material. |
| indieWireEric KohnWith an eye for gritty, shameless fun, Friedkin unleashes the play's guilty pleasure center. Friedkin holds nothing back, but it's Letts' rambunctious plotting that enables the director to chart a path to the wild climax. |
| Examiner.comChris Sawin"Killer Joe" is downright hysterical, clever, expertly written, and incredibly unnerving. This is easily a career best performance for Matthew McConaughey. |
