Child 44 Movie Review By MDBReviews


Donald Clarke | Irish Times
The story is a confusing bore that leads achingly slowly to a solution as perfunctory as it is implausible.
 
 
Marshall Fine | Hollywood & Fine
The plotting gets a little sludgy...it runs out of ideas long before it plods to the final credits
 
 
Andrew O'Hehir | Salon.com
Given these actors and the ravishing decrepitude of the locations and costumes and the lustrous cinematography of Oliver Wood, I found it more than watchable the whole way through.
 
 
Paul Gilbert | The Young Folks
Child 44 never knows what it wants to be: a mystery or an uninspired statement on dystopian governments.
 
 
Pete Hammond | Deadline Hollywood Daily
If the Russian accents from this non-Russian cast weren't grating enough, the convoluted and seedy story of Child 44 would be reason enough to pass on this one despite the usually reliable presence of Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace.
 
 
Nick Allen | RogerEbert.com
Equally bloated and scatterbrained.
 
 
Tony Medley | Tolucan Times
...a tense thriller set in Soviet Russia in 1953...tightly directed with surprisingly good pace...fine performances, especially by Hardy, Rapace, and Oldman...exceptional dark and forbidding cinematography enhanced by understated music.
 
 
Brian Orndorf | Blu-ray.com
What began as a novel by Tom Rob Smith probably should've stayed there, but for those with especially iron-like constitutions, "Child 44" does provide some terrific performances and a full sense of Soviet immersion.
 
 
Chris Fyvie | The Skinny
A hopelessly muddled, po-faced and occasionally accidentally hilarious thriller set in Stalinist Russia.
 
 
Justin Gerber | Consequence of Sound
Like The Interview, Child 44 will be remembered only for the controversy surrounding it.
