A Haunting in Venice - Kritiken

...without doubt the most visually and thematically interesting work of Branagh’s Poirot series thus far. And for an Agatha Christie fan looking for some in-theater amusement this weekend, that’s more than enough.

The images have a mesmerizing hyper-clarity, but also a shimmering, unreal, almost otherworldly aspect, especially in tight close-ups where the actors' eyes seem to have been lit from within.

Kenneth Branagh scares up his best Poirot film yet.

Kenneth Branagh’s tash-twizzling detective takes his hairiest case yet.

It may be too tame for horror fans, but the gothic twist works remarkably well — even if everything else is business as usual for the Belgian detective.

...a riveting and disturbing change of pace.
