James Brown Los Angeles Times A Small Killing never really advances beyond the ordinary potboiler. However, Asner and Simmons are worth the price of admission. They make you care. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Kay Gardella New York Daily News Frankly, my idea of entertainment isn't watching people rummaging through garbage cans. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Fred Rothenberg Associated Press Asner and Miss Simmons are delightful together, turning middle-age love into something warm and funny using the sophisticated edge of veterans who've been there before. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Win Fanning Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A certain amount of suspense is generated, and the movie, far from great, is curiously satisfying.
