- Excerpt: A Simple Favor is a darkly funny and campy mystery thriller anchored by stellar performances by Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Paul Feig’s latest is one of his best. It’s a welcome change of pace that doesn’t let us forget his skills at comedy while also showing off his ability to craft a twisted, suspenseful thriller with great performances.

- Excerpt: There has to be a modicum of respect for your own characters so the audience can be invested in their plight. Quite simply, these characters lack depth.
- Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
- Excerpt: Paul Feig’s feature houses a pristine pop aesthetic and finishes clean with a diabolical, seductive, and warped delivery.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Witty, tense, and thrilling, but also cheerful, escapist, and fun, this is a perfect cinematic cozy mystery, kept on an even keel by the irresistibly charming Anna Kendrick. Merrily absurd pure entertainment.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Imagine Doris Day and Marlene Dietrich day-drinking, confiding secrets, and generating conspiracy theories. Sounds pretty intriguing right? If only given the chance.
- [New] | Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: “A Simple Favor” is a wickedly sharp and stylish female-driven comedy stirred into a twisty suburban mystery that makes for a deliciously entertaining page-turner in film form.
- Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
- Excerpt: It’s a helluva ride with more laughs than anticipated and a self-awareness that’s necessary to buy into the circus. Neither trashy nor over-bearing, A Simple Favor hits that sweet spot of pure satisfaction.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Muito apoiado nas soberbas actrizes e com um elenco secundário sólido (as crianças nem por isso), “A Simple Favor” rapidamente se torna num dos melhores thrillers do ano. A poderosa banda sonora maioritariamente em francês já nos tinha alertado que ia ser um filme com estilo, mas excedeu as expectativas.
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: ‘A Simple Favor’ starts well, but Paul Feig fails to pull everything together and execute effectively. However, the cast is impeccable — Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively steal the show with applause-worthy performances.
