[Keep an Eye Out is] a pleasantly diverting romp, deriving considerable comic mileage from its burlesque of cop movie conventions.
| Sep 27, 2021
Keep an Eye Out is in love with its narrative at the expense of substance.
| Sep 9, 2021
In many ways, Keep an Eye Out feels more like an extended comedy sketch than a feature film. I for one had absolutely no problem with that because whatever it may be, it's definitely entertaining.

Surrealism thrives on simplicity of plot and Keep An Eye Out is a perfect case study.
| Mar 19, 2021
Keep an Eye Out serves as a solid starting point. For those already indoctrinated, it's another welcome dispatch from cinema's premier purveyor of perplexing paradoxes.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 18, 2021
Keep an Eye Out is a thoroughly enjoyable reminder that good storytelling is more about holding interest than coming to a resolution.
| Mar 16, 2021
It's more than a little silly, but there's enough visual panache and thematic depth to make it worth a look.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2021
Anyone not already on board with Dupieux's brand of offbeat humor and forays into the surreal can safely ignore the title's advice.

A small, strange pleasure. It's unique more than anything else.

It's a hoot. Not a really meaningful hoot, but it's a fun sit.

"Keep An Eye Out" is an uproariously funny film filled with slapstick humor, inventively quick-paced dialogue, and an off-kilter story with one surprise after another.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Mar 8, 2021
...equally as absurd as his previous work, if slightly less successful at cohesively building a narrative...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 6, 2021
I think Quentin Dupieux certainly has a hit on his hands, and I can't wait to see more of his films as soon as possible.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 6, 2021
The delightfully daft, dialogue-driven result makes for a languid farce that mischievously flips a funhouse mirror on jaded audiences to welcome, if fleeting, effect.
| Mar 6, 2021
Dupieux's characters reveal idiosyncrasies that are original and recognizable rather than borrowed from movie archetypes.
| Mar 6, 2021
Dupieux mixes together verbal jokes, surreal sight gags, and pure slapstick -- and while this is not an unusual approach for him, the end result holds together better than most of his films.
| Mar 6, 2021
Dupieux keeps the pace lively with some clever wordplay and narrative misdirection in this amusing lark, even if the ending isn't fully realized.
| Mar 5, 2021
I happily embraced [writer/director Quentin] Dupieux's surreal absurdity and creative storytelling.
