Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A funny mean streak runs through the promising coming-of-age thriller Don't Tell a Soul. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 15, 2021 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle As for Wilson, he fits effortlessly into this equation as the proxy father upon whom Matt can inflict his one sense of revenge against his late dad, and in whom Joey finds something like parental approval. Rated: 3/5 Jan 15, 2021 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times With every pout, Whitehead seems to puff with pride, as if to say "Here I reveal yet another terrible aspect of the American Character." Jan 14, 2021 Full Review Paul Lê Tales from the Paulside I was never bored and underwhelmed, nor did I feel certain events were foreseeable. Alex McAulay‘s feature debut as a director largely functions as a nimble and fair thriller, but there’s some heart to the story, as well. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online What could have gone down as a potential genre game-changer instead becomes merely an entertaining diversion, and nothing more. There are certainly worse things to be. Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Bleak drama. Rated: C+ Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Eric T I've never hated characters in a movie more than these two brothers Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Sarah A This was a pretty decent thriller. Lots of unexpected twists and turns. It's about a brotherly feud, with one particularly nasty brother. It's gets particular good the last 1/4 of the film. Definitely worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Daniel J The plot goes where it needs to go and what happens, happens. Nothing feels forced. Kept me fully engrossed from beginning to end and I absolutely loved it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Ellie M The conflict between the brothers really got my attention and how they resolved the problem at the end. It really shows how the brothers relationship changes throughout the movie. A really entertaining movie, keeps you on the edge of your chair waiting to see what happens next. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member What a hidden gem! I went into this without any expectations and I'm glad I did too. The acting ensemble is fantastic and the storyline takes a lot of unique turns throughout. Very entertaining! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member What the flip did I just watch? And boy are these kids dumb. They really helped Dwight the serial killer out of the hole. They some dumb kids. Gosh dang it gullible teenagers who think nothing wrong will ever happen to them. That's the main reason I dislike this movie. It's because of the dumb decisions that I would never make but also this isn't a Friday the 13th dumb decision making. Because the difference between Friday and this is one is a fun dumb slasher whereas this movie is a somber slow grey filtered movie. It's cool at the end that the kid from it wants to be a serial killer with Dwight from the office but of course it's a dumb decision. In the end this is another forgettable boring "thriller" type movie but what sorta helped is Dwight from the office as the lead. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
