	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Stylish direction and a deliciously wicked ensemble make good on Agatha Christie's most twisted mystery."	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"Gilles Paquet-Brenner directs the film proficiently and impersonally (...) [It] operates on alternately prestigious and campy autopilot (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Emily Yoshida Vulture	"It has its creaky corners, but there are enough twists and shocks to keep it engaging throughout (...) The MVP here is Christina Hendricks"	POS
United Kingdom	Gerard O'Donovan Telegraph	"All in all, a hugely enjoyable, sumptuous adaptation that, while never attempting to break the Christie mould, imbued the story with a pleasingly contemporary feel (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Terry Staunton Radio Times	"[A] misfiring adaptation (...) Paquet-Brenner's pedestrian direction gives the whole affair the feel of a hungover am-dram production (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
