The script, by James Handel and director Matt Winn, is tightly constructed.

New York Times

A critique about the hypocrisies of the righteous upper middle class unfolds halfheartedly, leaving us with performances that might’ve worked better in a sketch comedy scene.

Sight & Sound

It’s disarmingly strange and freewheeling in tone, undercut by a ruthlessly dark humour.

The Michael Medved Show

Elegant and stylish ...Indira Varma makes a deep impression as the clearly troubled Jessica, even though for most of this film's very brisk running time, she's not actually alive.

Rated: 3/4

Film Obsessive

Like any sure-handed cinematic riddle, Matt Winn keeps pushing the teeter-totter at the right times, dropping question marks all the way until the end.

Rated: 3/5

“The Trouble With Jessica” is less about the dead body than about the problems of the other characters, and how far they’re willing to go to get out of an increasingly messy situation.

Well-cast and written, it is totally funny even though it addresses the human failings of losing what one thinks is important, possessions, and status.

Eine herrliche, dunkle und urkomische Sozialsatire. Drei Gänge und ein Todesfall (Originaltitel: The Trouble with Jessica) ist eine perfekte schwarze Komödie mit witzigen Dialogen.
