Critics Consensus

Old-fashioned to a fault, the solidly entertaining Death on the Nile is enlivened by its all-star cast and director-star Kenneth Branagh's obvious affection for the material.

"Theres so much good mixed in with the uncomfortable of this film that one cannot call it a hard pass. But an easy-going river cruise, this aint."

It's very well done... It's darker and meaner than the original Agatha Christie [novel].

Branagh remains a sublime Poirot, and his direction of the material is frequently marvelous.

Meanwhile the spectacle of wealth gives viewers a chance to live vicariously through the characters. “Death on the Nile” may make an unofficial perfect accompaniment to “Triangle of Sadness” (2022).

The template of this film isn’t an unfamiliar one at all - if anything, it is probably just dead in the water.
