'Entertainment Weekly' highlights that while the film has moments of brilliance, it ultimately suffers from pacing issues, stating, 'The build-up is intriguing, but the climax leaves much to be desired.' Overall, while 'Twisted Fiction' showcases impressive performances and artistic visuals, its uneven plot may leave some viewers unsatisfied.
