Critics Consensus

Malkovich is clearly having a ball playing a nefarious pop musician in Opus, but unfortunately the rest of this thriller is too conceptually confused for the star's fun to prove infectious.

Jordan Hoffman The Daily Beast It’s rare these days to see a truly rotten pairing of performer and role, but it is on display in A24’s Opus, a lousy movie in every respect, but worthy of a “what the hell were they thinking?” in its most grievous mistake. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) I kind of enjoyed it. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine All is very much what it seems from another one of these all-is-not-what-it-seems thrillers — but there are fun, enjoyably unhinged performances from Edebiri and Malkovich. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Rua Fay Cinemasters The most clear, cut, concise way I can describe Opus is as a Midsommar knockoff. Unfortunately, Edebri's performance and the beautiful cinematography are not enough to redeem the film of its nonsensical plot and elementary mistakes. Jul 21, 2025 Full Review Derrick Murray NERDBOT “Opus” feels like ordering “The Menu” from Temu, “Midsommar” from Wish, and “Get Out” from that sketchy site that forces you to hard reset your iPhone after you checkout Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Marlon Wallace The M Report (WBOC.com) Overall, it's also meant to be a critique of what people will allow if it involves them being close or closer to a big-time celebrity. It could be an examination of sycophancy... Jul 12, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Ayo Edibiris Ariel Eckton is a masterclass in nuance. The Tragedy of Billie as a statement of media and celebrity? Wow. Bravo, Mark Anthony Green and A24. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Nadia Fun film, felt like midsommar lol Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Justyn f Fun story. Great acting. Shoutout the Ayo Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Jose Hector C A very "mind challenging" movie you have to pay close attention to tie in on what's going on. I enjoyed it.
