The Observer (UK)Nick JamesSep 11, 2022
By the end, I was fond of every single brat, dead or alive. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeAug 2, 2022
Whodunnits require so many moving parts to be expertly placed and played with, and, ultimately, the script isn’t as sleek as it needs to be with a board as ambitious as this. The game is a fun one, but you might feel a little cheated once it’s over. Read full review

Vanity FairRichard LawsonAug 2, 2022
As this process unfolds, Reijn and DeLappe manage some moments of shivery suspense. Reijn makes expressive use of the house, tearing up staircases and down shadowy corridors with giddy abandon. But narratively, the film grows awfully repetitive, some version of the same argument taking place in one dark room after another. Read full review

The Film StageLuke HicksAug 1, 2022
Bodies Bodies Bodies feels like A24 trying to suck up to the cool kids––a vapid, perhaps successful attempt to reel in a contemporary influencer crowd. Enjoying it feels partially dependent on one’s familiarity with celebrity pop culture, the intricacies of tabloid news, and the ever-evolving landscape of political correctness. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongSep 9, 2022
It’s passable as a mildly amusing twist on the slasher genre, but its lack of strong identity or coherent thesis means there’s little that sticks in the mind after the credits role, and ultimately does a disservice to its crop of talented stars. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreAug 9, 2022
The appeal of the cast can’t change the fact that its members are playing incredibly soft targets instead of real characters. Read full review

The New YorkerAnthony LaneAug 8, 2022
The suspense, to be honest, is pretty half-cocked, and made to seem more intense than it is by outbursts of dimly choreographed panic. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangAug 5, 2022
It’s kind of funny and kind of scary, if ultimately neither funny nor scary enough to keep the two modes from canceling each other out. Read full review

Rolling StoneK. Austin CollinsAug 8, 2022
It wants to be a slasher, but it isn’t reckless enough. It wants to be funny, but it only has two jokes, and it repeats them ad nauseum. It wants to be tense, but it takes advantage of almost none of the tension that this scenario and its McMansion setting have to offer. Read full review

The New York TimesLena WilsonAug 4, 2022
It’s not that “Bodies Bodies Bodies” is bad. It’s visually appealing and nicely acted. But this film is not special, and like its shallow characters, it is persistently unaware of its own inanity. Read full review
