Although Windfall's efforts to not be “more of the same” is what makes it entertaining, the fact that the movie ends with a forced climax that's typical of the genre that it tried so hard to undermine is even more frustrating. [Full review in Spanish]

Windfall embodies a classic noir suspense story, fraught with some incredible character performances from Jesse Plemons, Lily Collins, and Jason Segel

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 4, 2023

Terrible, talky three-hander...A good idea squandered, waste of a top cast. Chalk it up as a dud.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 15, 2022

From the retro font and music of the opening titles, Windfall announces itself as a throwback, Hitchcock-esque thriller, and proceeds, in its tidy runtime, to deliver.

| Oct 11, 2022

What could’ve been an unequivocal thrill transgresses into a languid chamber piece loaded with dramatic tedium and rote acting...

| Aug 18, 2022

The performances are good as Segel, Collins, and Plemons make the most of what they’re given. But the commentary is uninspired and barely explored. And the vague hints of tension aren’t enough to make this throwback thriller as good as it could have been.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

A modest, intriguing little crime drama that lets Jesse Plemons kind of take over for stretches and do his thing, which I always approve of.

While the production design and editing of the opening vaguely excite us with presenting Hitchcock-inspired cinema, the suspense never becomes impetuous enough to even [deserve] referencing it. [Full review in Spanish]

while Windfall is opportunistic in a good way, it still isn’t quite good enough to overcome its intended limitations

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 10, 2022

McDowell leans on looks between the performers and well-framed scenes to build suspense and distrust in the audience from the very beginning. And casting an enormous sweetheart like

| Original Score: 60/100 | Apr 18, 2022

If the trio of well-known actors distracts with low-key entertainment value for the film's brief 92-minute runtime, none of it manages to hold much weight.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 15, 2022

Windfall is a huge misfire. Its that kind of desensitized picture that proves unworthy of a big screen experience.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 13, 2022

Whether or not this is a good movie should be the new, "What color is this dress?"

| Original Score: B | Apr 11, 2022

You could make the argument that the pacing of Windfall undershoots methodical and lands in the range of plodding. I wouldn't necessarily agree...if you're expecting a fast-paced ride, this probably isn't for you.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2022

McDowell creates a refined and arresting one-room thriller that doesnt quite land its intended thematic punch.

| Apr 5, 2022

Its basic conceit is intriguing but Windfall doesn’t quite make the most of its potentially interesting premise.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 4, 2022

Windfall is an unfortunately average crime thriller that heavily borrows the pace and styling of films from the classic era.

The final twist is a shocker.

| Apr 1, 2022

If you have low expectations they will be met.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 1, 2022

A little bit by the books, but a good cast.
