A Kind of Murder Ratings & Reviews
The Film Experience
Jason Adams
There were moments of such monumental airlessness, as if a plastic sofa cover was wrapped over every scene
MattPais.com
Matt Pais
Less cat-and-mouse than cat-and-mirror. The movie just sits there, proud to look pretty, not really doing anything.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
Where A Kind of Murder excels is with one of the key themes found in Patricia Highsmith's novel - ambiguity - the success of which comes primarily thanks to Patrick Wilson in his performance as Walter Stackhouse.
Screen Comment
Nathanael Hood
It feels more like an exercise in defining the mechanics of suspense than in actually utilizing them.
Reel Talk Online
Candice 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.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Often, 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.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
"A Kind of Murder" has a handful of production achievements worth noting, but the rest is frustratingly forgettable.
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
A 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.
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A handsome period piece that plays more like a scant-clues mystery than like the psychological thriller it intends to be.
International Business Times
Alex Garofalo
The climax is not nearly as clever as at its set-up, but A Kind of Murder is a smart thriller, one that digs deep into the viewer's mind with difficult questions about guilt and morality.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Good source material does not guarantee a good movie, and A Kind of Murder, a new Highsmith adaptation directed by Andy Goddard from a screenplay by Susan Boyd, is not a good movie.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
A Kind of Murder" attempts to distinguish itself in its approach to style, but leaves much to be desired in its story and character.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
The story remains an academic argument, struggling to pierce the handsome surface.
Slant Magazine
Oleg Ivanov
The film seems more interested in its art design then in fully developing the story's underlying sexual ethics.
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.
