Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThis black comedy thriller has a good cast to spark a scenario that's intriguing enough to hold attention, if not quite clever enough to be a knockout.
Film Threat
pressVillains stumbles early on. However, due to the precise editing, excellent design work, and a cast that knock it out of the park at every turn, the film is still highly enjoyable.
The New York Times
pressDespite some committed performances, particularly from a refreshingly natural Maika Monroe, "Villains" is a hackneyed farce rich in gimmicks and poor in substance.
Los Angeles Times
pressBerk and Olsen's script only skims the surface of what is really going on here, and yet "Villains" remains a delightfully slick dip in the shallow end of the pool.
Hollywood Reporter
pressVillains has enough of its own offbeat energy not to come off as just another collection of young filmmakers' influences.
