Critics Consensus

A Dark Place's central mystery makes more than its fair share of questionable plot turns, but Andrew Scott's startling performance elevates it as a unique neo-noir diversion.

Chicago Reader

[Andrew] Scott here fascinates as a vulnerable yet remarkably resilient odd duck.

If it had simply lived in its mystery... than I think it would have been a more powerful movie.

The Times (UK)

The film, alas, despite [Andrew Scott's] best efforts, is dramatically inert and riddled with plot holes.

Rated: 2/5

Nightmare on Film Street

What elevates A Dark Place among other somber whodunits is our unsung hero's conviction for the truth.

Rated: 7/10

Everyone that gave this high ratings must be from Pennsylvania. Also most of it isn't believable.
