Wild Canaries Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
On paper, "Wild Canaries" sounds like it has all the ingredients for a reasonably diverting comedy, but they just never quite pull together into a cohesive or entertaining whole.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
At its core, Wild Canaries is a reminder that relationships require a sense of adventure, and maybe a little mystery, to keep the magic alive. Indie comedies, as the film proves, benefit from the same.
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
The genre play is an interesting take on what has become a clich genre of Brooklyn relationship dramedy. But unfortunately, the execution is bungled along the way, and the film ends up feeling like not quite one thing and not quite the other.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Cute or presumptuous? It's your call where "Wild Canaries" is concerned.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
In spite of the constant activity, there's not a whole lot going on, but it's still a fun place to visit.
The Dissolve
Noel Murray
It's rare for a film that feels this loose to be populated by men and women so precisely constructed that they could've been pulled right out of a novel.
Slant Magazine
Nick Prigge
Lawrence Michael Levine's film occupies a sweet spot between the self-aware and taut.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
Attempting to capture the screwball essence of the old-school suspense-comedy ... Lawrence Michael Levine's flighty "Wild Canaries" lacks the filmmaking discipline required to pay effective homage.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It offers an unpredictable ride that's kind of fun, or at least sporadically simulates fun.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
It's evident that the film is largely a lark, that Levin is having fun creating comic sparks by smashing a murder mystery together with a group of self-centered detectives, plot details be damned.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Despite an appealing cast, though, neither comedy nor suspense really takes flight until very near the end, largely due to a script that isn't equal to the filmmakers' enthusiasm.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Setting this pair of squirrelly, suspicious minds loose on matters of love and death, Mr. Levine spins a caper that wins you over more through tenacity than through originality.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
As performers, Levine and Takal are both practiced and casual; as a director, Levine displays a sharp comedic touch; the result is self-deprecating and self-revealing.
Variety
Justin Chang
Levine's script does a clever job of keeping numerous balls in the air over the taut 99-minute running time, and the writer is especially good at using the information he feeds us in unexpectedly resourceful, double-edged ways.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
If this were the 1930s, the world would soon be clamoring for these two to star together in another picture. The least we can hope for is a sequel.
Vice
Michael Nordine
Levine deftly toes the seriocomic line, making us sure nothing underhanded has actually occurred in one scene and making us question that certainty in the next.
Movie Mezzanine
Amir Soltani
The stars of the show are Levine and Takal, whose performances not only perfect the film's comic tempo, but also suggest that their real-life relationship has influenced every frustrated argument and passionate kiss seen in the film.
Under the Radar
Sarah Winshall
Like much of Woody Allen's mid-career work, it's a light romantic comedy handled with aplomb.
Madison Movie
Rob Thomas
It's like "Scooby-Doo" for the artisanal cupcake set.
Baret News
Kam Williams
A delightful diversion that succeeds in spoofing the film noir genre while simultaneously spinning a thoroughly-modern variation on the theme of those classic crime capers.
