The Hollywood Reporter
A riveting first feature of startling maturity and intelligence. - 90
Variety
Precision-honed performances and a nonsensationalistic approach distinguish this impressive first feature from French helmer Alexandre Moors, which avoids pat explanations as it offers a speculative glimpse into murderous minds. - 90
Village Voice
The key question is whether this procedural—as in, here we watch killers proceed—contributes to any greater understanding. I believe it does. - 88
Slant Magazine
The filmmakers are more interested in questioning what brings people to commit senseless and merciless acts than they are preoccupied with the historical record. - 83
IndieWire

The Dissolve
It finds no clear answers, but that suits both the horrific event and this haunting, elusive film. - 75
Observer

McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Blue Caprice is a chilling portrait of motive, manipulation and mass murder.
