A young writer (Ayo Edebiri) is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star (John Malkovich) who mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago. Surrounded by the star's cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.

Critics Consensus

Malkovich is clearly having a ball playing a nefarious pop musician in Opus, but unfortunately the rest of this thriller is too conceptually confused for the star's fun to prove infectious.

It’s rare these days to see a truly rotten pairing of performer and role, but it is on display in A24’s Opus, a lousy movie in every respect, but worthy of a “what the hell were they thinking?” in its most grievous mistake.

3/5

All is very much what it seems from another one of these all-is-not-what-it-seems thrillers — but there are fun, enjoyably unhinged performances from Edebiri and Malkovich.

Opus has a lot of great ideas but fails to execute any of them well.

Even if the payoff isn’t as mind-blowing as viewers may have hoped, the journey to get there is pleasingly creepy, funny and tremendously well-acted.

Opus is just digital tape and runtime. It’s not particularly scary or interesting, it offers nothing new to say about cults, or vanity journalism as a tool for propaganda, and worse, it says that nothing in an uncompelling way.
