Reaction: Perhaps the costs were a little too high for the subject matter and Lanthimos' box office track record (this has become his highest grossing film by a very large margin). Either way, we delivered a quality product and didn't lose a lot, so we at the studio aren't too bothered by the outcome.
"Yorgo Lanthimos is really the perfect filmmaker for a story like this. He is the modern master of the tragic comedy. While this is a more mainstream effort than his previous films, it is still in a similar vein." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun
"Hollywood has always wanted to pigeon-hole Colin Farrell in the role of action hero, but it's never taken. It's probably because he seems so much more at home with darkly comedic dramas like The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, In Bruges and now, The Death of the Honest Man." - Dave Cone, New York Post
"At times The Death of the Honest Man comes across as a standard story of a philanderer, but every so often director Yorgos Lanthimos and writer Dominic Wilkins throw in a curveball that keeps things fresh and interesting." - Mark Plainsview, ReelViews
