What to Know

Critics Consensus

Landscapers layers enigmatic style onto an already unbelievable true story with varying results, but Olivia Colman and David Thewlis ground the absurdity with outstanding performances.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 01/06/2022
Director Will Sharpe shows sets being decommissioned, while the characters lie to themselves so they can continue to believe what they need to. Tragedy has almost a tenderness in these scenes. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) 12/21/2021
4/5
A true-crime dramatisation that is so inventive, its inventiveness becomes key, perhaps at the expense of the actual story. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Landscapers is a visually ambitious, if thinly sketched true crime story. Go to Full Review
Juan Carlos Galindo El Pais (Spain) 06/08/2022
There are sordid moments, yet the series never falls in commonplace sensationalism. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Instead of a whodunnit, Landscapers instead is a pleasurable exercise in style. Go to Full Review

P M Jan 4 Too much fantasy unrealistic crap in this one. Started well but could have been a one hour Dateline episode. See more Andrew H @loafa Jan 2 They threw the cinematic sink at this one. Weird lenses, cuts to black and white, other chromatic shifts, flashbacks with both the same and different actors, cutaways to metaphorical dramatizations, breaking the fourth wall. One or two of these artistic decisions could have made it a masterpiece, but combined it's a distracting mess. It's a shame, because the performances were incredible, but couldn't power through the spasmodic directorial decisions. See more Alain E @AlainE Aug 30 An impressive construct. Personally, I am not very keen on the symbolism of the scenes in the wild West. All the cast is very good and Olivia Colman superb playing not a very nice person. I was impressed that the little girl that plays Colman’s character in childhood looks a lot like her. In American shows often there are some black characters that feel like they satisfy a quota system. Here the black attorney and the black detective are genuine people. There are many sequences in very nice black and white, although I cannot claim to have understood what was the symbolism of subtracting color. The story about Depardieu at the end was quite cute. The main lesson of the movie is: don’t murder your parents. But if you do, never come clean to any relatives. See more Rose K Jul 16 Really creative absolutely amazing See more Jenaro V @JenaroV 12/05/2024 Estéticamente la serie es muy superior, una belleza visual de principio a fin, me gustó la utilización de diferentes elementos narrativos para darle surrealismo a la trama la cual es bastante aburrida, el misterio y la investigación no tienen emoción alguna y el aspecto dramatico no es favorable. Destaco también a David y Olivia, estuvieron geniales en todo momento. See more Dani G 06/28/2024 More than the story (which is good, not great), very interesting style of production, with all the experimentation and changes even from scene to scene See more Read all reviews
