"It's been some time since a twisty thriller was able to genuinely surprise an audience. Increased viewer awareness of the various twist tropes often forces filmmakers to heap twist upon twist upon twist, straining credulity all the way. Invariably, the twist is about the twist is about the twist."

Flicks
Flicks"There’s perilously little playfulness to be found either in the script or its otherwise handsomely ashen cinematic treatment."

Variety
Variety"A handsome thriller, absorbing for its duration and with a couple of neat rug-pulls."
—
Total Film
Total Film"Perfectly effective, but while director Rowan Joffe keeps the twists coming, something about Kidman’s blank, frosty performance is unconvincing."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Enjoyably preposterous."

The Guardian
The Guardian"Doesn’t transmute the material into something richer and deeper the way."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Strong performances keep the viewer guessing as much as our heroine, but the character drama recedes as the thriller element builds, to its detriment."
