- Excerpt: The characters lose their personalities and become mouthpieces for spouting off exposition.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: ‘Dark Places’ is another complex whodunit from the pages of Gillian Flynn, this time tackling the consequences of small town anxiety and the difficulties of facing a tragic past.
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: Despite a determined cast providing strong if somber-as-Hell performances, these Dark Places are better left in the shadows.
- [New – 10/1/15] | James Marsh @ South China Morning Post
- Excerpt: Adapted from the novel by Gone Girl scribe Gillian Flynn, and reuniting Mad Max: Fury Road co-stars Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult, Dark Places has suggestions of a moody true-crime drama with psycho-thriller pretensions. But languid pacing, poor directorial choices and a series of narrative dead ends make watching it a tiresome chore.

- Paulo Peralta @ CinEuphoria [Portuguese]
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Still, it’s an entirely watchable (if somewhat workmanlike) thriller that successfully manages to string the viewer along until an incredibly implausible finale just about sinks it.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: A moodily grim, choppily edited potboiler with a howlingly ludicrous ending.
- Ron Wilkinson @ Monsters and Critics
- Excerpt: A good performance by Charlize Theron is all that saves this movie from the poverty porn dustbin.
