While many people watched Malice, reviews have been quite mixed. Currently, the film has a 35% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 reviews.

According to The Independent, the film’s twist on the typical ‘toxic nanny’ story is interesting, but the conversations feel unnatural and forced, and the actors struggle to make them believable. The dialogue relies too much on explaining things directly rather than showing them through natural interaction.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film lacks a compelling element to grab the audience, especially considering how many similar movies there are. AV Club criticized the dialogue as predictable and overly obvious.

However, The Guardian offered a more favorable review, calling it “a great ride” and praising the lead actor’s debut dramatic performance. They described the show as “moreish, bingeable stuff” perfect for watching through the holidays.

The movie received mixed reactions, averaging a 5.6 out of 10 rating on IMDb based on 1000 user votes. Some viewers found the story interesting, but one reviewer pointed out that it had several plot holes.

Many found the visuals appealing and the performances decent, though some criticized the story as weak and unbelievable. One viewer described it as overly convenient and lacking effort.

Viewers compared the show to the popular anthology series The White Lotus, with one commenting that, similar to The White Lotus, Malice features stunning settings and wealthy, careless characters. However, they added that this kind of portrayal feels less appealing in the current climate.

Malice is streaming now on Prime Video.
