The Playlist - Jessica Kiang
The Killing of a Sacred Deer is Lanthimos with the gloves off, and it makes the absurd, amazing “The Lobster” seem like a warm and cuddly experience by comparison.

The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
When absurdism feels this wrong, you know it’s being done right.
100
The Hollywood Reporter - David Rooney
The rich vein of unsettling darkness and psychological unease that ripples like a treacherous underground stream beneath the absurdist humor of Yorgos Lanthimos' work becomes a brooding requiem of domestic horror in his masterfully realized fifth feature.
90
Screen International - Jonathan Romney
This is a ruthlessly controlled drama that achieves its powerful effect by holding back when its dramatic content is most intense.
83
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
Fortunately, the filmmaker’s rare gift for brutal absurdity remains intact, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer only gets funnier as it grows darker.
