The legend & mystery of John Malkovich’s Moretti is quite captivating in this wickedly twisted exploration of the power & dangers of a celebrity-obsessed culture. Mark Anthony Green also couldn’t have picked a better anchor for the film than Ayo Edebiri.

Rated: 3.5/5

Variety

Mark Anthony Green’s thriller about a music icon's sinister listening party delivers neither good songs, nor deep chills.

New York Post

Despite boasting the terrific star of “The Bear,” “Opus” is a dog.

Rated: 1.5/4

The impact of this message is watered down by everything that comes before, with the film losing energy and intrigue as it goes on.

Rated: 5.5/10

Mashable

The little that works ends up shackled by lousy, scattershot filmmaking that saps the movie of all tension, insight, and fun.

Inverse

Opus feels caught between the psychological battle between journalist and artist, and the cheaper, bloodier expectations of the genre.
