Critic Reviews for Don't Tell a Soul

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3)

  • A funny mean streak runs through the promising coming-of-age thriller Don't Tell a Soul.

    January 15, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Simon Abrams

    RogerEbert.com

  • As for Wilson, he fits effortlessly into this equation as the proxy father upon whom Matt can inflict his one sense of revenge against his late dad, and in whom Joey finds something like parental approval.

    January 15, 2021 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

    Richard Whittaker

    Austin Chronicle

  • With every pout, Whitehead seems to puff with pride, as if to say "Here I reveal yet another terrible aspect of the American Character."

    January 14, 2021 | Full Review…

    Glenn Kenny

    New York Times

  • Writer/director Alex McAulay's mean-spirited, mud-caked, scungy thriller, "Don't Tell a Soul," gets a boost from an uncharacteristically scary Rainn Wilson.

    January 16, 2021 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

    Jonathan W. Hickman

    The Newnan Times-Herald

  • As lean and mean as they come, this sharp, emotional thriller is centered on just four characters and a couple of spare locations, and yet it wryly uncoils a surprising number of shocks and layers.

    January 16, 2021 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Jeffrey M. Anderson

    Common Sense Media

  • Despite an intriguing premise and committed performances, it lacks the character depth and moral complexity to maintain consistent suspense.
