Reviews


70
Variety - Nick Schager
While thrills are mitigated by convoluted plotting and suspect character behavior, the film’s uniquely bleak twist on classic noir conventions is enlivening.
63
Slant Magazine - Oleg Ivanov
The film seems more interested in its art design then in fully developing the story's underlying sexual ethics.
60
We Got This Covered - Lauren Humphries-Brooks
There’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.
50
Movie Nation - Roger Moore
As its quickly stumbles through its crimes and clues, A Kind of Murder leaves you with the uneasy feeling that a promising mystery has simply been designed to death.

Los Angeles Times - Sheri Linden
The story remains an academic argument, struggling to pierce the handsome surface.
