Critics Consensus

Dark Crimes is a rote, unpleasant thriller that fails to parlay its compelling true story and a committed Jim Carrey performance into even modest chills.

The film's pace never deviates from its hushed, deliberate, anticipatory gaze - it's stuck in thriller-foreplay mode.

1/4

The screenplay teeters between depraved and confusing ("Truth is what you make it. Reality is perception.") Say what?

Source material with great dramatic potential. Talented director and screenwriter. Intriguing cast. That's a promising menu - but the end product leaves a sour taste.

This production pudding is so artificial that it is hard to believe any of the characters, save for Gainsbourg's.

It's very rare for a film to pretty much have no redeeming features about it, but Dark Crimes is essentially impossible to recommend beyond those who have a morbid curiosity.

There's not even much novelty in seeing Carrey play so aggressively against type in this oppressively artless slog.

Remarkable way to tell a tale. The movie used facial art. Blended with dialoge delivered through facial expressions that left me at awe. A startling ending was as a nich touch to a very entertaning film.

Many people will be turned off or let down such by this off putting drama and not want to like it because of the upsetting situations that happen throughout with Jim Carrey leading this. If you are into these psychological slow burn thrillers or drama type movies that leave you feeling icky or shocked this movie will be for you.
