IndieWireAlison ForemanMay 14, 2024
Cohen and Halberg manage an admirable faith in their own movie — delivering consistently delightful kills in a soapy story that doesn’t seem insecure until the very end. Read full review

ColliderEmma KielyMay 2, 2024
Tarot is a pretty forgettable horror movie. Dull characters, a basic plot, and very little to say with its themes render it a fairly unmemorable experience. Read full review

TheWrapWilliam BibbianiMay 3, 2024
It’s a horror movie for people who want to watch a scary movie but are hanging out with someone who gets scared very easily, and so they decide to compromise. Not too scary, not too silly, not much of anything really, but not much to complain about either. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMatthew JacksonMay 3, 2024
It’s trying to be everything at once, and ends up feeling flimsy, empty, and again, very, very frustrating. Read full review

EmpireAnna BogutskayaMay 11, 2024
Tarot is a personality-less horror that doesn’t overly concern itself with either character or plot. It’s here to deliver one thing and one thing only: cool kills. Read full review

Unfortunately, Tarot is exactly as derivative as its uninspired synopsis suggests. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeMay 3, 2024
The writer-directors Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg really have no idea how to fill the gaps between deaths and even at 92 minutes, we’re left with something that feels so much longer. Read full review

While it may prove a good gateway horror for some, more experienced genre fans will likely wish it was a bit nastier. Read full review

Screen RantRachel LaBonteMay 8, 2024
When it comes to horror, sometimes originality isn't necessary; what's key are the scares, and how everything unfolds. Unfortunately, Tarot falls flat in the former category, and the latter isn't particularly engaging. Read full review

VarietyTodd GilchristMay 2, 2024
Set in a world where every door creaks and there isn’t a single well-lit location, Tarot is little more than a clearinghouse of horror clichés. Read full review

We Got This CoveredCharlotte SimmonsMay 15, 2024
Tarot is at once a disciple of The Tower; apathetic, disgraceful, ruinous, and an utter, mirthless catastrophe. Read full review

IGNJesse HassengerMay 2, 2024
Tarot seems perpetually uncertain about whether it should play its thinly conceived premise for laughs, or actually pursue real scares. It winds up with neither, stumbling around in the dark and turning its small ensemble into a crude means of timekeeping for its surprisingly sluggish 90-minute runtime. Read full review
