What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though the murder mystery remains far from resolved, a pressure-cooking fifth episode of Sharp Objects brings viewers closer to understanding the character of Camille Preaker.

Ben Travers IndieWire 08/06/2018
The fifth episode of Sharp Objects does little to advance the mystery, but it does a lot to contextualize its characters, their stories, and this town. Go to Full Review Angelica Jade Bastién New York Magazine/Vulture 08/06/2018
5/5
There's something about this blend of summertime indulgence, history, and skewed rewriting of a situation to make it into anything other than a tragedy that lights a fuse in the town. Go to Full Review Laura Bogart AV Club 08/06/2018

It's fitting that Closer the show's fifth episode-which functions as a jaundiced commentary on how we elevate and mythologize women's pain-should derive narrative and emotional momentum from Camille's scars. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Anatomy of a Scream Podcast Network 10/04/2024
Besides the absolute horror show that is Calhoun Day, the sequence in the dress shop is a triumph. Kudos to Adams, Scanlen, Clarkson and director Vallee on this series highlight. Go to Full Review Fiona Flynn entertainment.ie 01/07/2020
God forbid this show actually made anything clear. Go to Full Review Jac Kern Cincinnati CityBeat 08/22/2018
We must pay close attention and be patient, because Sharp Objects is a true slow burn. Halfway into the season, there's still more mystery than answers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
