Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly found McAdams "a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission". Todd McCarthy of Variety criticized her break from the big screen but felt that, despite a performance of "tender feeling", "her natural vivaciousness and spontaneity are straitjacketed" by the film noir format.

However, he praised the director of photography Thimios Bakatakis and the score, calling it "eerie." Bell summarised that the film was "interesting, but a bit too ambiguous to remain as uncomfortably off-putting as it hopes." Writing in a 5-star review for Bloody Disgusting, Trace Thurman wrote that Sacred Deer would be "the most unsettling film you see this year," particularly noting Lanthimos' direction and Bakatakis' cinematography which he said gave the film a "surreal, otherworldly quality.

" Varietys Phil Gallo wrote: "In the first episode, House of Payne rolls through a collection of stereotypes and characters familiar to TV auds. ...It's old-fashioned in structure, sets and characters. Despite having his name in the title, Payne is straitjacketed into a straight-man role; the saving grace is the grumpy father figure Chester as Davis huffs and puffs his way through the unnatural dialogue. As the mother Ella, Cassi Davis is all exaggeration—from the bug eyes to the girth—and she isn't given the material to make her character either outrageously humorous or poignantly comforting.

Most of Lal's writings center upon the contemporary and historical political scenario of Nepal and South Asia. However, he brings insights from a range of disciplines crucial to explaining such issues. Reluctant to be tethered in any narrow set of themes, he has written on politics, diplomacy, economy, media, and gender relating to Nepali or Southasian societies. He usually provides historical frameworks to analyze the unfolding dynamics in a society and hints that politics is not merely straitjacketed dry affair but rather the amalgam of historical forces, including power relations, economic and cultural landscape of the society, ethnicity and races, languages, and hierarchy of wealth distribution.

Jason Killingsworth in a review for Paste magazine said of his performance "Carrey nails the part, winning audience sympathy from the opening moments of the film". Moira MacDonald in a review for The Seattle Times stated "[Jim Carrey is] not bad at all — in fact, it's the most honest, vulnerable work he's ever done", while David Edelstein of Slate said "It's rarely a compliment when I refer to an actor as "straitjacketed," but the straitjacketing of Jim Carrey is fiercely poignant. You see all that manic comic energy imprisoned in this ordinary man, with the anarchism peeking out and trying to find a way to express itself." The supporting cast also received acclaim, with several reviews, such as Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post and Rick Groen of The Globe and Mail singling out Ruffalo's performance for praise.
