Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Marina Antunes @ Quiet Earth
- Excerpt: A fascinating, often hilarious and occasionally disturbing piece of filmmaking, The Killing of a Sacred Deer is another win for a director who seems determined to tell stories his own way. Thank goodness someone is still willing to let him tell them.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Nguyen Le @ The Film Scoop
- Excerpt: Horror awaits, but The Killing of a Sacred Deer makes it so alluring that we’re willing to dive into it head-first.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Hypnotic, confrontational, and lingers long after exiting the theater.
- Simon Miraudo @ Student Edge
- Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
- Excerpt: The whole feels like a short story bloated out of control, a desire to create something beautiful in its intensity damaging the coherency and potency of what’s actually portray. There’s a film to rival Lanthimos’ previous efforts within The Killing of a Sacred Deer, but its present form simply isn’t it.

- Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material
- Excerpt: Leave it to Lanthimos to make world-shattering family trauma grimly comical.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Yorgos Lanthimos’ first official stab at a horror movie is every bit as disturbing as you might hope—which is to say, every bit as disturbing as his comedies and dramas.
