In Darkness (2018)
Blind pianist Sofia (Natalie Dormer) overhears a struggle in the apartment above hers that leads to the death of her neighbor Veronique (Emily Ratajkowski). It is the start of a journey that pulls Sofia out of her depth and brings her into contact with Veronique's father, Milos Radic (Jan Bijvoet). A Serbian businessman accused of being a war criminal, Sofia is drawn into a dangerous world of corruption, investigating police, hitmen and the Russian mafia--a world with links to Sofia's own hidden past and a path of revenge she has kept hidden until now.

The screen's greatest "man-eater" is ferocious, even as the alleged blind prey of killers, in this just-smart-enough thriller.May 20, 2018

Fans of the genre will appreciate the clever script and strong performances.May 24, 2018
While "In Darkness" doesn't exactly bring anything new to its genre, the star makes the most of a platform she's long deserved - and that she apparently had to build herself.May 24, 2018
Games of murder, betrayal, revenge, and torment are played, but Byrne doesn't bring anything to a boil.May 25, 2018
After it spends the opening minutes establishing a rich sense of atmospheric suspense, this flimsy psychological thriller loses sight of any such ambitions in a mess of incoherent plotting.May 24, 2018
A diverting suspenser that should prove particularly popular in home viewing formats.May 23, 2018
I can't wait to see what (Natalie) Dormer the screenwriter shows us next.May 24, 2018
Ms. Dormer and the cast remain dedicated to the story, and that helps the audience do the same. Still, even if you don't entirely agree with where they've taken you, the ride alone is worth your time.May 25, 2018
Flawed but with glimmers of inspiration, In Darkness will probably be remembered best for the platform it gave to Dormer...May 25, 2018
I did find myself wishing that all films this narratively misguided were so directorially sure-footed. Makes getting through them a lot less painful.
