Blind pianist Sofia overhears a struggle in the apartment on the floor above her, and it leads to the death of her neighbor Veronique. It is the start of a journey that pulls Sofia out of her depth and brings her into contact with Veronique's father, Milos Radic, a Serbian businessman accused of being a war criminal. Sofia is drawn into a dangerous world of corruption, investigating police, hit men and the Russian mafia - a world with links to Sofia's own hidden past.

Critics Consensus

In Darkness blindly stumbles through routine thriller antics, supported by a steady Natalie Dormer, but not much else.

2/5

It feels like three long seasons of quality television squashed into one savagely overstuffed cinematic piata.

2/5

A talented cast and a handsome sense of time and place can't save this thriller from being caught in a cliche-ridden and uninspiring undertow.

This initially promising blind-woman-in-peril thriller soon loses its way.

Natalie Dormer gives a passionate performance in a thriller with a moody style but not many interesting new ideas.

The final reveal may have you scratching your head, but damn if [Anthony] Byrne and [Natalie] Dormer don't pull it off with aplomb.

Twisty noir thriller gains weight as the plot thickens. Satisfying conclusion. Characters are cool.

This film is a true suspense film, reminiscent of Hitchcock and De Palma. The cinematography is classic and exceptional. The editing hints at the protagonist's history while adding to the mood. The story unfolds delicately, providing just enough info to fill in some previous blanks while creating new ones with each scene and outside the bounds is traditional end-of-act turning points. There are twists and turns within the plot that I didn't expect and that don't tickle any particularly obvious cliches. I watched this movie twice in a weekend just to make sure I caught everything. I'm honestly flabbergasted that the reviews aren't better than they are. If I was still teaching intro to film, I think I'd mix this into my curriculum.

Na EscuridÃ£o (2018) #MovieReview 3,0 â?ï¸? Pianista cega vÃª-se (desculpe o trocadilho) em apuros quando a moÃ§a do apartamento acima, filha de um ditador exilado morre parecendo ser suicÃdio. Nada de ultra diferente, mas assistÃvel e segura a atenÃ§Ã£o.

Held my attention the entire movie starting at 1am and running till 3am! The acting was excellent, the plot twisting as it unfolds. Did not expect it to end up where it did.

The good starting premises are gradually lost, weakened by the derivativity of the thriller, the political background, the futile development of the plot, and the craving of Natalie Dormer (protagonist, screenwriter, producer, ex-girlfriend of the director) to propose herself as sex symbol.
