“Knives Out” has generally positive reviews from critics and casual moviegoers. The film scored an 82% metascore, with a 7.7 user score on Metacritic. Critics and viewers have praised the entertaining and gripping whodunnit, led by the charismatic star-studded cast.

• Joe Morgenstern of the Wall Street Journal had this to say, “An entertainment that’s as smart, witty, stylish and exhilarating as any movie lover could wish for. It’s tempting to call it the sort of movie they don’t make any more, but they didn’t make all that many way back when, because it’s really hard to pull off a production of such startling quality. If there’s a false note from start to finish I must have been laughing or gasping when it sounded.” 

• While Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times said, “This is, to be sure, a riotously funny movie — a priceless collection of puns, insults, one-liners and some of the best-timed barf gags this side of “Problem Child 2” — but it also treats the classical detective story with the seriousness and grandeur it deserves.”
