What to Know

Critics Consensus

56 Days almost overstays its welcome with this snoozy mystery, but its central conceit is saved by two utterly beguiling performances.

2.5/5
It’s a tricky gambit and it mostly fails: by revealing so much of the plot and quickly revealing duplicitous twists, 56 Days lays bare the infrastructure that should be hidden away. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Feb 19
56 Days suggests halfheartedly that the very wrongness of this courtship is what makes it so hot for them, and for us. But its insistence on playing coy about exactly how wrong it is or why... is to its own detriment. Go to Full Review

Yorin D @Yorin81 6d An easy, bingeable watch that I genuinely enjoyed. See more Rich L. @Richard810 Mar 25 Very good. Great acting performances. The pacing was lacking. See more John F. @mooovieMan Mar 22 Really liked it thought it was very intriguing. Twist and turns. A true who done it from the beginning to the very end. Didn’t mind the sexy steamy scenes a bit.
