Two playwrights, George and Charlie, are tasked with the challenge of creating the next "avant-garde, surrealistic, mind-bending neo-noir thriller". As they write, the story comes to life in real-time. However, their own emotions and arguments also begin to manifest on film, creating sharp twists and turns that affect the entire movie. Filled with hilarity and chaos, Murder, Anyone? is a comedic play-within-a-play-within-a-movie that contemplates the complexities of language, art, theater, film, and more.

Critics Consensus

Although it'll be too quirky for some, Murder, Anyone? is a deeply meta comedy that also serves as an affecting homage.

9/10

If you’re a Hitchcock fan and can appreciate the art of co-creation, give Murder, Anyone? a shot. The perfectly casted bourgeois characters snubbing the add-ons alone will give you a bellyache from laughter.

Murder, Anyone? has good intentions and it cannot be criticized for not being made with love.

3/4

It's murder most foul in this comedic work that borrows from the art vs. commerce argument and converts it into stage vs. cinema.

I can appreciate it as a son's sincere homage to the dad he loved.

A smart and funny send-up of the Whodunnit genre and fitting tribute to it’s late writer.

I watched about 2/3 of 'Murder, Anyone?' waiting for the 90% score to kick in. I realized chances were slim it was going to suddenly become anything like a good movie and bailed. I remember reading a review of 'The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' that said (I'm paraphrasing) 'Self-conscious camp is the lowest form of comedy possible.' That is exactly how I felt about this: self-conscious camp. It is neither smart nor inventive, neither funny nor scary. This movie misses every possible mark it sets out to pin. I am a fan of art that is self-aware, if it is done well. 'Movie Movie' from 1978 falls into that camp (oh how I wish it were available to stream) and the music show 'The Drowsy Chaperone' is an absolute meta joy. The only thing 'Murder Anyone' has going for it is ... well, I actually can't think of anything.

Fun until it wasn't, Murder, Everyone.. errr Murder, Anyone is a hot mess. I laughed a lot and was having a good time, but there is a major switch in gear that just lost me and took me out of the film. The picture is very self aware and that may work for some, but when things go over the top, I was outski! A movie within a play within a play oh just forget it. Final Score: 5/10

Clearly the work of an artist struggling to find the balance between art and commerce. I thought this hilarious and witty film really kept that discussion alive but also accomplished the melding of the two subjects. The button at the end, which will remain a mystery for those of you who haven't watched, really caught me off guard and had me reaching for tissue to dry my eyes. What a beautiful love letter to film, theater, and the artists never ending struggle to get paid for their art. An instant and unexpected industry classic. Well done James Cullen Bressack and team.
