What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Kill Room's talented cast and broadly comedic tone make for a reasonably diverting caper, even if its attempts to satirize the art world don't amount to much.

Nicol Paone’s flat direction and Jonathan Jacobson’s listless screenplay leave the cast painting by numbers. Go to Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) 10/21/2023

The funny, frisky crime caper plays to the leads’ chemistry, delivering an escapist delight. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024
It’s even more biting about the craven capitalism of the art world than Velvet Buzzsaw and features some great broad comedic work from Uma Thurman and a soulful turn from Joe Manganiello. Go to Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times 11/08/2023

Nicol Paone's film has pace and smarts, and will appeal to anybody who reckons modern art is all a big con. Go to Full Review Ferdosa Screen Rant 11/03/2023

The Kill Room is a fun time, especially if you don’t expect too much from it. Despite the lack of well-developed characters, the movie is enjoyable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Braxtynn 10/01/2023 An unexpected and entertaining inside look at the pretentiousness of the high dollar art world. Direction was good, writing was great, acting may have been just a tad forced at times, but overall a very well composed story with a number of laugh out loud dark humor moments. Definitely recommend! See more Sharon 09/30/2023 I love Samuel Jackson, but this movie is a stinker. Do not waste your money. See more Gillian H. @gilhut Dec 3 Great pacing, and great seeing Sam Jackson and Uma Thurman back as a team on screen! See more Hans D Sep 30 The writing is sophomoric, the directing is tepid, and Uma Thurman is barely recognizable; she's done something to her face - not something good. See more Courtney P Jun 1 In a world where every movie seems the same. One of the best, different, creative, individual, most authentic, original movies I have seen in a long time. Need more like this. Loved it!!! See more May 5 A bit disappointed there was a lot of potential to rip the art world of pretentiousness. Like art is only as good as its value. Or art for arts sake. It started to wander and lost want the story was suppose to say or mean. Like Laverne and Shirley. See more Read all reviews
