Helen Mirren brings a snippy panache to her portrayal of the misanthropic novelist, but the film’s excessive cleverness ultimately proves tiring rather than page-turning. Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 20 hrs ago
[Mirren’s] performance is the acrimonious engine that powers this clever game of cat and mouse. Go to Full Review Ethan Vestby The Film Stage 1 day ago
Taking a very silly concept and playing it relatively straight, A Talent for Murder is fairly predictable, if watchable. Go to Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily 1 day ago
