Time Out

Dramatically, the film seldom fulfils its promise, and its pessimistic 'moral' -- that good and evil do not always meet with their just deserts -- looks contrived and hollow. Intriguing and patchily effective, nevertheless.

The result is a frighteningly intelligent, and often hilariously funny whole.

Common Sense Media

Dark Woody Allen comedy-drama about adultery, murder.

Variety

The structural and stylistic conceit is that when Landau is onscreen, the film is dead serious, even solemn, while Allen's own appearance onscreen signals hilarious satire and priceless one-liners.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Using the paper-thin lead characters as symbols to show how blind people are about themselves and their relationships has little gravitas, but the comedy is stinging.

Chicago Sun-Times

The movie generates the best kind of suspense, because it's not about what will happen to people -- it's about what decisions they will reach.

Cinema Crazed

A truly brilliant study of murder and its psychological effects on the people that dare commit it.

New York Times

The movie's secret strength -- its structure, really -- comes from the truth of the dozens and dozens of particular details through which it arrives at its own very hesitant, not especially comforting, very moving generality.

Washington Post

A relative of Hannah and Her Sisters in its duplex structure and of The Purple Rose of Cairo in its bitter theme, Crimes is two movies in one, a blend of Allen's satiric and pretentious dramatic styles.

Allen's expertise is evident everywhere.

Groucho Reviews

Nervy and unnerving...arguably the purest expression of Allen's cinematic vision. [Blu-ray]

Chicago Reader

The overall 'philosophical' thrust -- that good guys finish last and that crime does pay -- is designed to make the audience feel very wise, but none of the characters or ideas is allowed to develop beyond its cardboard profile.
