Opus

"Toothless and fractured."

"A progressively nonsensical and poorly made debut with too much on its plate."

"Malkovich must bring gravitas to a very silly role lacking in comic inspiration."

"Even if the movie’s only real goal is to frighten, it bets far too much on its eventual twists."

"A vain and vapid pop spectacle that’s utterly lacking in substance."

"Yet another superficial riff on Midsommar."

"Green’s script stumbles over itself as it runs to the finish line."

"A clueless, lurchy film that’s poorly shot and clumsily directed."

"The film is at its best when it lets Malkovich be a supreme oddball."

"Edebiri is always good value, and she stoically attempts to draw the best out of the material."

"Think Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None for the TikTok generation."

"A distinct lack of tension and very little in the way of menace or horror."

"A clunky, heavy-handed, unfunny, toothless pile-up of genres."

"All is very much what it seems from another one of these all-is-not-what-it-seems thrillers."

"Smug, annoying."

"Edebiri’s the anchor here, but the material is the material, and the material only goes so far."

"Grim, predictable and not very bright."

"Intriguing."

"The most unnerving thing about it is how such a handsomely produced film could have so little to offer."

"The supporting cast is left fighting to reach the baseline for amusing caricature."
