- Marco Albanese @ [Italian]
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Cinematic legerdemain
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This murder mystery, which tips its hat to Sherlock Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe, Agatha Christie and Clue, features a sprawling cast of characters, almost all of whom are pegged as up to no good within the film’s first twenty minutes.
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Knives Out creates one of the great movie families with the ridiculous Thrombeys and puts them in a murder mystery that’s as compelling as it is relevant.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Aside from one element that gave me pause, the film is an ingeniously crafted mystery that proves to be far more than meets the eye.
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Roderick Heath @ This Island Rod
- Excerpt: Much as Conan Doyle used Sherlock Holmes as a figure to mollify an age experiencing an epistemological crisis as old faiths were drowned out in the industrial landscapes of Victorian Britain, Johnson here wields Blanc as a titan for still being capable of close observation and engaging with the edge of mortal knowing in an age that degrades all such refined arts of attention.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: This is a fun film……snarky…..but fun.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: An entirely entertaining murder-mystery jape; dryly funny, deliciously retro yet decidedly modern. Whenever you think you’ve got it figured out, it trips you up again… and you love it for doing so.
- Glenn Lovell @ CinemaDope.com
- Excerpt: At over two hours, feels overlong, padded … The denouement isn’t reached so much as laboriously coughed up, like a fur-ball.
- [New] | Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Excerpt: Murder mystery comedies have experienced highs and lows at the box office and with audiences. “Knives Out” knows its predecessors, but cannot equate them in a disappointing and predictable package.
- Vince Mancini @ Uproxx
- Excerpt: Knives Out is a brainy homage to a genre that might not deserve it.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: A bit slight, ‘Knives Out’ is still one of the most purely entertaining movies of the year.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Excerpt: Don’t fear: No spoilers here. All you need to know is Knives Out is a devilish delight.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Thanks to a terrific ensemble cast, irreverent sensibilities, and a push for incorporating the modern world, Knives Out is more than a quirky thriller with an eye towards the past.
- Matt Oakes @
- Excerpt: Those wanting a taste of throwback whodunnit murder mystery will find much to enjoy within Rian Johnson’s star-studded ‘Knives Out’, just know that you very well might figure it all out before the detectives do.
- Eddie Pasa @ Gunaxin
- Excerpt: Do NOT miss this film, and do not be late to the theater.
- João Pinto @ Portal CInema [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Get ready Murder SHe Wrote fans because this one will glue you to your chair!
- Shelagh Rowan-Legg @ ScreenAnarchy
- Excerpt: It’s not only a worthy and loving homage to great detective stories, but also a biting satire on contemporary American politics and the hubris of the nouveau riche who forget that they never actually worked for the money they so eagerly and ignorantly protect.
- Diego Salgado @ Guía del Ocio [Spanish]
- Dennis Schwartz @ Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: Contemporary but old-fashioned shaped whodunit that both enlivens and refreshes the genre.
- Don Shanahan @ Every Movie Has a Lesson
- Excerpt: Knives Out electrifies the whodunit genre with dastardly glee and self-aware perception. From piercing stares and cutting words to the ever-present stabbing threat of the forged metal weapons themselves, the blades of entertainment slash and thrust every single second of this standout romp.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: This entertaining film includes everything I like to see in the mystery genre. I can’t help thinking that Agatha Christie would also enjoy KNIVES OUT.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
