Critics Consensus

Although it falls a fair bit shy of its Hitchcockian ambitions, I Came By gets a major boost from Hugh Bonneville's excellent against-type performance.

3/5
It doesn’t always work, but an unexpected, perfectly pitched bad-guy turn from national treasure Hugh Bonneville makes I Came By just about worth stopping by for. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Sep 2, 2022
A twisty suspense film barbed with social commentary. Go to Full Review
Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle Sep 1, 2022
3/5
It wouldn’t be half as interesting without Bonneville’s deliciously macabre delivery, but there are some very interesting ideas floating around, even if not all of them work. Go to Full Review
Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews Jul 25, 2024
3/5
Babak Anvari is good at creating terror out of unassuming situations, and the first 40 minutes or so of I Came By sees an effective building of tension. Afterwards, though, things start going a little bit downhill. Go to Full Review
Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Oct 26, 2023
It’s a gritty takedown of counterfeit upper-class civility, exposing generations of systemic inequality and racism as an aristocratic prejudice. Go to Full Review

1/5
I Came By is proof that Babak Anvari has yet to discover his footing as a storyteller in the horror, mystery, and thriller-related space. Go to Full Review

diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 15, 2026 It's worth watching primarily for Hugh Bonneville's excellent and terrifying performance, which completely departs from his usual roles. Unfortunately, the script falters severely in the second half with plot holes, irritating narrative conveniences, and a lukewarm ending that doesn't do justice to the good initial potential. See more Rox D @Rox49 Jun 8, 2026 Absolutely brilliant film. Who knows who will survive, twists and turns and edge of your seat watching. None of your predictable Hollywood here , but a solid story-driven British film. Hugh Bonneville and Kelly McDonald were outstanding as you'd expect, other cast gave top notch performances which were naturalistic and intense . Recommended viewing. See more Adam D. @neph-lon Feb 24, 2026 It subverts expectations, none of the characters are quite what you expect them to be. Hugh bonneville both plays the exact character you expect him to play and completely the opposite. It’s the banality of the character that makes the sinister and evil side so realistic. I think overall well worth the watch! See more Chris N @Chris8T9 Jan 13, 2026 Watchable if you’re bored. Full of characters making stupid decisions, and has some pretty big plot holes - the acting is good though See more andrea c @Charst Dec 24, 2025 Thriller duro e veramente crudo; con un cambio di personaggi e di protagonisti molto interessante sia nel loro utilizzo che nella costruzione dei personaggi. La sceneggiatura è semplice ma efficace, arriva dritta al punto e colpisce forte nel momento delle spiegazioni. Livello attoriale non esattamente altissimo ma comunque, il film è molto scorrevole e la riduzione dei dialoghi al minimo è una buona scelta. Anzi, proprio quei pochi dialoghi, non solo hanno una costruzione rivedibile, ma portano alla luce anche quelle forzature della trama che altrimenti resterebbero più in secondo piano. See more Ricardo d @RT43154676 Dec 6, 2025 Um ótimo filme. Fazia tempo que não imergia na trama daquele jeito de ficar falando com os personagens. O roteiro é muito interessante pois não propõe heróis fantásticos, mas seres humanos. Daí Toby escorrega, Jay pisa num assoalho solto, Lizzy se apavora com a porta fechada. O vilão também não é super, mas tem contatos, e isso que mais assusta, pois temos diversos vilões assim por ai. A cena dele intimidando a policial é assustadora e real. Embora esperava um final feliz, ou semi, o fim também é agradável por saber que é assim que é a realidade. E o terror maior é a comparação com nossa rotina. Seria mais assustador se o filme fosse brasileiro, pois ai saberíamos que o fim seria uma tornozelheira eletrônica e diversas regalias. See more Read all reviews
