Critics Consensus

Agatha Christie fans may find enough intrigue to hold their attention while a capable cast gives their all, but there's no escaping the gaudy pitfalls of this Crooked House.

Katie Walsh

Los Angeles Times

Irons more than holds his own at the center of this swirling mystery, and Martini proves an enchanting leading lady, but the real draws are Close and Anderson, who bring a ferocious zest to their over-the-top characters.

A visual treat but a less-than-tantalizing mystery.

Crooked House feels as lifeless as the corpse at its center.

Thanks to a dark humor, and extraordinary performances, 'Crooked house' manages to escape from tropes and common places. [Full Review in Spanish]

From the Front Row

It's certainly a deliciously dark tale, but it never really gives into its sordid, over-the-top tendencies until it's too late.

Rated: 2/4

The Spectator

Even so, after a while you can't help noticing that, rather unusually for a Christie adaptation, not a great deal is happening plot-wise, with the programme not so much gripping us as drifting pleasantly by.

it respects the source materials a mostly but could of been done a lot better . Well also adding it’s own the to a Agatha Christie classic the most rememberable performances of this film are from Glenn Close and Sophia de Gaviland In my opinion . Not much as mystery mind you.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Terrible movie. Bad adaptation, the characters are all wrong and the script tumbles clumsily between the book and constant anachronistic references both stylistically and thematically. The character of Brenda was particularly butchered. Too bad :/

Everyone loves a good mystery. But they'll not find one here. There's simply nothing particularly interesting or the least bit suspenseful in this one. Close and Anderson provide a bit of much needed fun, but unfortunately Irons and Martini as the leads, are both pretty but dull, lacking any chemistry together. Plus, the shockingly abrupt conclusion is unsatisfactory. The only creditable aspect of the film is the imposing country house and grounds which provide a colorful and atmospheric setting.

A bit boring. Wanted to stop watching in the middle because it's so dull. I just continued watching it only to find out who the killer was. Otherwise, I would have stopped watching it.
