Dark Places Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Miriam Di Nunzio
The third offering from Flynn Dark Places does its best to stir a multitude of emotions within us, but in doing so, the film feels contrived and hurried.
CinemaBlend
Mike Reyes
A puzzling thriller with intensely fascinating characters, Dark Places is a film that will restore your faith in procedural mysteries.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
When a movie boasts such a loaded cast but still finds itself sentenced to a buried fate, there's usually a reason. Or in the case of Dark Places, there are many reasons.
The Young Folks
Ivanna Barrera
Theron was disappointing. The writers and director could really have done much more with such a twisted book.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The mystery itself eventually becomes tiresome and shrug-worthy, even as the film breathlessly racks up the revelations.
L.A. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Director Gilles Paquet-Brenner marshaled a top-tier cast and commanded them to tromp across Flynn's intelligent bestseller like investigators muddying a crime scene.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Each flashback or revelatory conversation fills in a few more details of the overheated story without giving us a reason to care about it in the first place.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
The mystery unspools slowly, with so many different twists and turns it's impossible to figure it out ahead of time. That's fine. By the time you get there, however, you probably won't care anymore.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Dingy and dumb. Instead of a quickened pulse, it results in multiple yawns and a "So, that's it? Meh."
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Welcome to "Dark Places," where you can spend nearly two hours in the presence of some of the most unpleasant people you'll ever have the misfortune to encounter at the movies.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A convoluted, airless procedural that generates practically no suspense and little that's thematically resonant about lost souls and poisoned memories.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Paquet-Brenner wrings the suspense out of "Dark Places" almost from the get-go, with a plodding pace and characters who are meant to be powerfully repressed but only come across as drab.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Dark Places" isn't a disaster of a film. Instead, it's the definition of average, and we wish it could have taken us to some more interesting places.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
Inexpert execution, lazy attention to detail and a lackluster lead performance conspire to render a juicy mystery rather boring.
Chicago Tribune
Katie Walsh
Existential questions aside, the surface-level generic pleasures of "Dark Places" and the stellar cast are entertaining enough, even if it doesn't quite stick the landing.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The payoff is a huge and telling visual howler, summarizing the entire plot with a blithe indifference that will inevitably mirror the audience's.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Dark Places just becomes an overstuffed, low-simmer potboiler with too many improbable detours and overly convenient twists.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
Everyone involved, including the audience, deserves a better movie than this, and for fans of the book, it's possible some out there might not find the film version a disappointment, but like everything else in "Dark Places" that seems unlikely.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
It keeps the guessing game going long enough to compensate for some otherwise shallow characterizations, while Theron offers up an earnest and downbeat turn that says a lot with little dialogue ...
Variety
Peter Debruge
No matter how you feel about "Gone Girl," there's no denying that Gillian Flynn's second bigscreen adaptation is a relative disappointment.
