What Richard Did Ratings & Reviews
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
It's a tough tale of adolescence and the preciousness of life that hits a whole new level of emotion in the aftermath of its life-altering event.
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
While [Lenny] Abrahamson's patience in setting the scene and establishing the social dynamics among the characters is admirable, his efforts make the film top-heavy with exposition and rather repetitive carousing sequences.
Cinema Autopsy
Thomas Caldwell
Up-and-coming actor Jack Reynor delivers an astonishing performance as Richard, evoking both sympathy and contempt from the audience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
If What Richard Did is sometimes a little too understated for its own good, this is still a classy piece of work which convincingly captures the emotionally complex, morally murky texture of real life.
IndieWire
David D'Arcy
DP David Grennan and [Lenny] Abrahamson have a fine touch with the volatile ensemble dynamics of kids with high energy, quick tempers and the fragile vulnerability of youth.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
[Lenny] Abrahamson also delivers the emotional goods, particularly in a beautifully acted scene between Richard and his father that is as surprising as it is believable.
Observer
Rex Reed
You may be shocked by your own reactions to "what Richard did," but you won't soon forget the movie in which he did them.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Abrahamson's penetrating film asks - and does not answer - whether one viciously criminal moment is an aberration, or whether it reveals the weak, shabby person who was there all along.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Mr. Reynor's portrayal of this man-child is an extraordinary screen performance in which his face registers all the conflicting emotions gripping Richard. We see every layer of him, from the scared inner child to the suave, entitled ladies' man.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Isn't shocking in obvious ways, preferring to stun the audience with an authentic atmosphere of guilt and indecision, investing in the frustration of delayed response over unapologetic manipulation.
Village Voice
Sherilyn Connelly
[Feels] like a Bergman homage without earning the clunky label "Bergmanesque."
Slant Magazine
Tina Hassannia
The film's structure as a character study helps to subtly underscore the flawed justifications of a privileged kid's thought patterns and unchallenged value system.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
A low-key but compelling morality tale.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
Not only is this Irish drama sharply well written and directed, but it also features a jaw-dropping breakout performance by young Irish actorJack Reynor.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
What Richard Did inevitably does reach a point at which the uneventfulness starts to become a little oppressive...
