- 75New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickThough the movie doesn't use real names and the press notes say it's "inspired" by the Durst case, it seems to follow many of the facts rather closely -- all the while mixing in not a little provocative speculation.
- 75Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreIt's not the smoothest thriller. But All Good Things is thoroughly engrossing, a roman a clef that chillingly ponders a puzzle and suggests solutions outlandish enough to be stranger than anything Hollywood, on its own, could make up.

- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film, although deeply flawed, is at times compelling, even if it seems as if a reel is missing.
- 60MovielineMichelle OrangeMovielineMichelle OrangeThe film presents the rare instance of a true story that has been fictionalized and yet seems bent on cleaving to its least useful facts.
- 42What's most surprising, given the latitude provided by all that conjecture, is that the Durst - "David Marks" for the purposes of the film - who emerges is less a character study than a thumbnail sketch.
