4/5

A British comedy-drama about female killers is a much more satisfying cocktail than that description would suggest. Debut feature from Staten Cousins-Roe.

It is an enjoyable if not ground-breaking debut feature from the director with two great turns from its leads.

2/5

It reaches for Thelma & Louise, but hasn't really put in the groundwork.

An inescapably and very proudly female story. The deadpan, irreverent sense of humor suits the material perfectly. ...[It's] also a ruthless skewering of so-called wellness culture.

A bone-dry dark horror-comedy, A Serial Killer's Guide to Life, is I Heart Huckabees meets American Psycho by way of Thelma and Louise.

9/10

From Cousins-Roe's sublime writing in twisted humour and character development to Roe and Brayben's sensational chemistry, this film is funny, heartwarming and brutal all in the right measure and should not be missed.

More proof you don't need big stars or a huge budget to make an entertaining gem such as this. A sparse but witty script, sure footed direction and a couple of interesting performances by the two leads coalesce into a gentle black comedy that brutally nails its targets.
