Seven Psychopaths is nothing more than a sun-baked mess, and that's precisely why it continues to surprise, astonish, move, and bring moments of sidesplitting laughter. It is nothing less than a meta masterwork, piecing together fragments of character and emotional tangents until the conclusion releases a strange sense of catharsis. The side stories involving the titular psychopaths are overloaded with hazy lines of dialogue that hit hard, and Ben Davis' cinematography seeks the melancholy within every shadowy corner.
The emotional layers ("I like it, It's got layers...") rise because of the sublime dose of humor, all coming from a brilliant script delivered by a unspeakably great cast. Seeing Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, and Christopher Walken argue with each other is…

SEVEN FUCKING PSYCHOPATHS

Seven Psychopaths? More like The Seven Lesbians Who Are All Disabled And Have Overcome All Their Spazzy Shit And Are Really Nice to Everybody And Two of Them Are Black
Review by Hollie Horror ★★★★ 3

4 stars for the way Christopher Walken says "Hallucinogens".
Review by Simone ★★★★★ 55

Martin McDonagh has another cult hit on his hands. In a lot of ways, Seven Psychopaths is more similar to a mash-up of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Adaptation than In Bruges, which is probably my dream movie come true. McDonagh's strengths are writing witty dialogue and character development, which shines through his outlandish and twilight-zoney premise in this case. Everything the trailer tells you about the movie is basically a lie, setting it up to be a silly comedy. Those of us who love In Bruges know to expect much more.
Marty (Colin Farrell) is an Irish screenwriter who drinks too much and is experiencing a bad case of writer's block. His screenplay is called "Seven Psychopaths" but he…

gay cinema!
Review by Lucas Rose ★★★★

After watching In Bruges and enjoying that film I decided to seek out more films by Martin McDonagh. I really enjoyed this one as well, I mean the performances here truly sell the movie and I have come to find that I really enjoy Colin Farrell as an actor. Honestly, he always seemed like a jerk to me but the man can act. I'm going to keep watching more of McDonaghs films because I truly have liked the ones I've seen so far.
Review by A-Ile Self-hallucination ★★★★½

الفيلم داخل الفيلم، فكل شيء مباح. إنها عملية مزج الواقع مع الخيال، تصوير السيناريو داخل السيناريو
هكذا يمكن اختزال السايكوباتيين السبعة، والذي ينتمي إلى المشابهة التورانتينية. بطريقة ما يمكن القول أن فيلم ماكدونا هو النسخة المقلّدة بشكل جيد من بالب فاكشن، أو بأجزاء كثيرة منه، وأهمها طبيعة الشخوص لسام روكويل وودي هارلسون وكريستوفر والكن
منذ الافتتاح هناك محادثة لشخصين يبدوان محترفين في عالم الجريمة ويقفان في مستوى مفتوح وهائل ومع ذلك يسمحان بتسلل شخص ويغتالهما، لتتدرج الأحداث في قصة كاتب هوليودي يريد كتابة سيناريو فيلم، ويصبح السيناريو المكتوب داخل الفيلم هو الفيلم المعروض، وأحياناً يعود الفيلم المعروض ليكون سيناريو الشخصية التي تكتب الفيلم.
هذا التداخل المذهل الذي صنعه ماكدونا، ليس مهماً فيه معرفة الزمن الحقيقي من زمن الشخصية التي تستعرض…

Review by Mike Cavalier ★★½ 1

A screenwriter wanders into a battle between seven psychopaths while struggling to complete his latest screenplay, called Seven Psychopaths. I'm not always in the mood for Martin McDonagh's distinctive brand of twisty. turny, violent dark comedies that wink at you throughout, delighted by their own self-consciousness — art that makes jokes about itself can come off as wry the first time around, but have a pretty short shelf life. This one's very talky and exceedingly pleased with its own cleverness, though it at least has the good sense to have a cast that's fun to hang out with. Seven Psychopaths is as much a send-up of mob tropes and LA crime stories as it is about hack screenwriting and the messiness of the creative process.
Review by Will Harrell ★★★½

I don't think Martin McDonagh has it in him to make a bad movie. Even if this one isn't as strong as In Bruges or Three Billboards, it's still an engaging original idea with a ton of funny moments.
Review by Nova ★★★★

I thought this film was quite good.

When people say to me, “you know, it’s one of those Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson movies” this is exactly what I think of.
Review by Brody Ethridge ★★★★½

Uses the “movie who’s main character is a screenwriter” trope to perfection. It’s not necessarily all original but it sure feels like it. Genuinely laughed a few times in this. Wish I had seen more of McDonagh earlier.
