What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although it never comes close to the classic capers it seeks to emulate, Sharper is just sleek and clever enough to pass the time.

Linda Marric The Jewish Chronicle 03/03/2023
4/5
While Sharper’s genius resides in its ability to successfully outwit its audience, at no point does it feel laboured or in the least predictable. Go to Full Review

3/5
Moore is tremendous; other performances vary perhaps a little more than they are meant to... Go to Full Review
Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) 02/22/2023
3/4
A fun watch with friends and family or a solo evening’s light diversion, the kind you replay the next day in your head to see how it all fits together. Go to Full Review
Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta Jul 24
The structure that’s kept you guessing, leaving hints of the truth in its wake, weakly sputters out into a third act that, despite the film’s attempts at obscuring the truth, feels simultaneously unearned and foreseeable from a mile away. Go to Full Review
William Stottor The Indiependent 09/03/2024
3/5
Sharper doesn’t fizzle out—far from it—but its conclusion ultimately feels indicative of the film as a whole: slick, clever, well-executed, but just a little too safe. Go to Full Review
Tamma Moksha The Hindu 06/11/2024
Told from multiple points of view, the low-brow twists and non-linear narrative in this tale of deceit and manipulation — with the rules changing every few minutes — leave us disappointed. Go to Full Review

Sabrina M 02/12/2023 Absolutely amazing! The entire cast rocked it. The way the movie went back and forth was so interesting. Kept you on your toes the entire time. Sebastian goes between devilishly charming to bratty and he does both so well. See more Bill M. @billy2hats Dec 9 Kept me guessing throughout. Definitely recommend. See more @AlissonCampos Dec 8 Uma bosta que tinha potencial de ser um bom filme, porém se perdeu e nunca mais se achou! See more Ben M Nov 12 I saw every plot twist coming a mile away. Felt old, predictable and one implausible scene after another. The opening scene is really well done, but all down hill from there. For me, much of it was laugh out loud ridiculous. John Lithgow was oddly cast. You could tell he had no idea what to do with this character.
