Little Murders

Director Alan Arkin constructs a dark comedy from a series of absurd vignettes, layering them into a grotesque portrait of societal decay. He relies on hyperbole and sarcasm to explore how mundane irritations morph into existential threats.

Those who tire of polite satire will find a brutally sharp, laugh-to-keep-from-screaming experience. What lingers after the credits is the unsettling recognition of this cartoonish, yet familiar, urban nightmare. — MovieFinder Editorial
