"Evil Genius" asks tough questions but doesn’t provide easy answers, and that’s exactly why this case has always simultaneously confused and enthralled those who are open to learning more about it. Go to Full Review Glenn Garner Deadline Hollywood Daily 11 hrs ago
More than a decade after her directorial debut, Cox packs a heavy punch with Evil Genius, thanks to an incredible, committed ensemble and a faithful approach to the true story that still offers moments of levity during the dark tragedy captured onscreen.

2/5

The film may feel all too familiar for some viewers, and it may work best for those completely unfamiliar with the original story. That doesn’t make the Evil Genius movie bad, necessarily, but it certainly dampens its impact. Go to Full Review Joey Magidson Awards Radar 2 days ago

8/10
