This jaunty comedy thriller is the closest we are likely to get to a film version of The Mousetrap – but it scuttles all over the place.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 16, 2025

When talking about whodunits in his opening narration, Leo remarks: “if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.” But that doesn’t make a good whodunit any less enjoyable. And See How They Run is definitely enjoyable.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

This might be the biggest surprise treat of the year. But let's not jump to conclusions.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 5, 2024

It's hard to pull off a great whodunit. While See How They Run doesn't quite accomplish this,, it's at least a very fun whodunit that also plays with the style of the form and adds in elements to stay engaging...

| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2024

Breezy, fun, and mostly very charming. It’s a little too long, a little too self-satisfied with how well it works, and it doesn’t know which punchline is enough. So it piles on everything in hopes that enough land, and that you’ll forget those that don’t.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2024

[It] offers a well-mounted, sparkling murder-mystery supported by a glorious cast and peppered with fun ripostes.

| Oct 4, 2023

A light-hearted watch packed with charm and a stacked talented cast, we can forgive most of its mistakes because, yes, it is just that delightful.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 18, 2023

Whatever may not work about the film is redressed by Saoirse Ronan's impeccable work here, and whatever does is only amplified by her presence. Without her, it's a fun bit of Sunday afternoon fluff. With her, it's a total must-see.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023

Saoirse Ronan sparks a very bright light onto the film, showcasing her polished and well-timed comedic chops; but as soon as she’s not on-screen, it falls flat quickly.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 29, 2023

Ultimately, See How They Run is a solid ride. To those who find the recent influx of meta genre flicks to be exhausting, See How They Run will not come across as charming. It will feel tedious in its insistence that the film is clever beyond imagination.

While it’s no masterpiece, it’s a solid, fun, flashy, meta whodunit with a deliriously enjoyable soundtrack from Daniel Pemberton.

| Jul 23, 2023

So what we have here is a fizzy, enjoyable, modestly ambitious outing with some finely detailed period set design and visual style quirks that help keep us engaged.

A pure Whodunit... that reintroduces us into the solvent narrative structure just like Knives Out (2019) did recently. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 16, 2022

The ending payoff is as predictable as they come, and the movie’s lack of emotional weight ultimately works against it. In a year with several whodunnits, this one may, unfortunately, be the weakest.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 30, 2022

Thanks to a cleverly constructed screenplay and a dynamic double act in Rockwell and Ronan... See How They Run is sure to both mystify and delight all whodunnit devotees.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 30, 2022

Saoirse Ronan should take a bow. She steals this film and makes me smile.

| Nov 16, 2022

The type of whodunit that used to be described as a good yarn, back when you could say "simply a good time at the movies" and it wouldn’t sound cheap or unconvincing.

| Original Score: B | Nov 14, 2022

A whodunit with plenty of suspense where the focus is on the funny interactions of the detectives.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2022

See How They Run never portrays itself as a great film in a similar genre, it tells a fan fiction spoof story with conviction and never deviates from its common objective of providing wholesome entertainment.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 11, 2022

If you have a soft spot for period whodunits, then you may have some fun with this stylish, well-cast piece that mostly comes off as an appetizer for The Glass Onion.
