A lot more clever than it initially appears.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
One of those self-consciously quirky indie films that will strike some as comic genius while leaving the rest of the audience scratching their head.
Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic
Fresh
An unpredictable, enjoyable mob comedy.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
A strong performance by the reliable Kingsley, and a tartly sweet one from Leoni, keeps You Kill Me from turning into the bad joke the title implies.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
