Critics Consensus

Arizona will provide twisted thrills and ludicrous drollery for Danny McBride diehards; everyone else may seek greener pastures.

Arizona might have worked better as a smart-ass social commentary if its tsk-tsking of consumerist myopia wasn't so consistently on the nose and its plot didn't swiftly devolve into slasher movie cliches. Go to Full Review

This 85-minute, "Ten Little Indian"-style comedy-horror mash-up is basically a cameo-studded muddle that may have looked good on paper, but movie screens aren't made of paper. Go to Full Review
Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Aug 24, 2018
Severely wasting the talents of Rosemary DeWitt, who really, really deserves better material, Arizona is as arid and barren as the state that provides its title. Go to Full Review
Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Jun 23, 2020
The closer you look at Arizona, the less funny and escapist it becomes, and I'm certain that's by design. The exercise doesn't always work, but when it does, it can sting. Go to Full Review

4/5
Arizona is a dark comedy thriller that works on both sides of the coin, with the dark comedy working well and the thriller part being decent. Go to Full Review

Often grotesque and thoroughly witless. Go to Full Review

Devon H @RT62689724 1 day ago The final third of the movie goes completely off the rails and is boringly repetitive for it. However, the first two-thirds manages to be funny and horrifying at the same time. The movie also has interesting things to say about culpability for the housing crash. I think the fact that it insists that there were no pure, innocent victims or wholly evil oppressors is precisely why many critics hated it.
