Child 44 Ratings & Reviews
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
In the end, the film lacks an imagination, and that unfortunately winds up dragging it through the mud.
IGN Movies
Max Nicholson
Child 44 is not a bad crime-thriller, but it could have been way better, especially given the talent involved.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
Given these actors and the ravishing decrepitude of the locations and costumes and the lustrous cinematography of Oliver Wood, I found it more than watchable the whole way through.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Equally bloated and scatterbrained.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"Child 44" is involving despite itself.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
[An] unrelentingly grim, plodding, and close-to-incoherent adaptation of Tom Rob Smith's best-selling mystery.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It's as tedious as a bottomless bowl of borscht.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
What "Child 44" most resembles is a rushed and crowded pilot for a television drama.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The usual serial-killer thriller in Soviet drag.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
Ultimately, what we have is a bloated, grim, underwhelming affair, which is unfortunate - because the movie starts out with a lot going for it.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A muddled, mumbling thriller that never gets us in an iron grip.
Village Voice
Stephanie Zacharek
For long stretches, it's dull and plodding, chugging along on the fumes of its earnest intentions. Still, there are worse ways to kill two hours than watching Hardy work his sturdy magic.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Child 44 could have been far more compelling had it dug deeper into its political thriller layers and not drifted into yet another story of a diabolical killer on the loose.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Despite gritty atmosphere and a sometimes smart script by the estimable Richard Price, whose credits include "The Wire," "Child 44" can't sort out the basics.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The film is at once devoted to corroborating and casting an exaggerated light on Soviet paranoia and the state's rhetoric of unmasking its enemies.
Film Journal International
Nick Schager
Overstuffed with plot, Child 44 becomes no more lucid as it progresses from one development to another.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
It shouldn't be possible to make a movie this bad with a cast this good.
Variety
Peter Debruge
"Child 44" plays like a curious relic of an earlier Cold War mindset, when Western audiences took comfort that they were living on the right side of the Iron Curtain, and relied on movies to remind them as much.
TheWrap
James Rocchi
A Soviet-era slog through crime and corruption, painted in grim shades of muck, blood, moss and bark, director Daniel Espinosa's "Child 44" turns a best-selling period-piece procedural into a slow, tedious thriller almost totally devoid of thrills.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
The movie doesn't really captivate the way it should, and as the manhunt stretches on it actually diminishes in suspense, ultimately overstaying its two-plus-hour running time.
