Ars Technica

Michael Lovan shows an impressive command of pacing, structure, and tone. It certainly won't dislodge 1985's cult classic Clue as the best movie yet made about a board game, but it's very solid indie fare and a lot of fun.

Rated: 3.5

All told, Murder Bury Win is, unfortunately, a losing game.

Murder Bury Win has as much of an expertise for the world of board games as it does suspenseful dark comedy.

Movie Nation

Sports a few flashes of wit and some engaging characters, but lacks the pacing and punchiness that might have put it over the top.

Rated: 2/4

Writer/director Michael Lovan shows an impressive command of pacing, structure, and tone. The performances are good, and the story, co-written with John Hart, has a few neat twists. The film is at its best when celebrating the passion and enthusiasm of its main characters, with game play frequently shot as if it were really happening. It certainly won't dislodge 1985's cult classic Clue as the best movie yet made about a board game, but it's very solid indie fare and a lot of fun.

It was entertaining, I liked the cast and the plot but the it's kind of over-rated at the moment. I don't like them when they get too quirky almost like the hangover series but it started and ended good.

So, so much fun! I didn't know anything going in and I was glued to the screen the moment it began. Very indie but it doesn't show, with sharp writing and lots of surprises. A complete delight for me.
