Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 03/14/2024
It’s all amateur sleuths and mysterious figures, topped by wry dialogue and Laurie’s old pals as a wildly overqualified supporting cast. Go to Full Review
Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 08/17/2023
3/4
The period details are divine, but it’s the charming turns from Poulter and Boynton that make this red herring-stuffed 1934 whodunit such a pip. Go to Full Review

There is nothing here you would want to change. Go to Full Review

4/5
An enjoyable and tellingly sharp adaptation, though it does go on a bit. Daniel Ings is enjoyably louche and rather mesmerising. Go to Full Review

Kate A @Katopotato Aug 13 Very convoluted and impossible to follow the last 30 min. Made no sense. And they had way too many characters and they left loose ends. See more Joshg G @RT83074248 Jun 23 It's OK. The plot is confusing and the finale was weak. Good performances and cinematography. It's worth watching, but certainly not a must. I'm overwhelmed by the 100% critics score! I I'll give it 68% See more Diana P @dianapowers Jun 1 Agatha Christie is all about expertise. This version is all about amateurs. Boring and drawn out. Editing made things confusing at times. Hugh Laurie is not a great director. It’s pretty hard to ruin Agatha Christie and, with this, he did. See more Sharang L @Scribe187 02/02/2025 A little undercooked but has its moments. See more lee w @RT70765341 08/26/2024 Thoroughly absorbing Agatha Christie adaption. Mr Laurie has excelled in this wonderful whodunnit love story. Mr poulter ,but especially miss Boynton are a joy to watch. And their interplay is lovely to see Repeat viewing hasnt lessened the enjoyment .the clothes . The vehicles. The setting is most beguiling and a look back to a period I can only read about.. exceptional . Loved it.. See more Robert T @RT73485569 06/18/2023 Pretty slow but despite this the cast is absolutely fabulous and the production values are high. A good Sunday afternoon watch but nothing memorable See more Read all reviews
