	Media	Author	Review
		Vittoria Scarpa Cineuropa	"The film deploys a top-rate British cast, paradoxical situations and exquisite jokes (...) A comedy about suicide that celebrates life, but not in a predictable way"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] has some clever moments. But it feels overly reminiscent of too many similarly themed dark comedies"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"'Dead in a Week' is striving for a weirdly sentimental kind of black-comic farce, and it doesn’t work (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"[It] offers fitfully engaging, mild-mannered entertainment but lacks the scalding wit or vicious bite that might leave a lasting mark"
		Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"[It] relies too much on familiar tropes to do justice to its provocative set-up (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		David Hughes Time Out	"Tortuous plotting, sub-sitcom jokes and drab direction (...) It’ll be dead in a week – and you’ll want your money back (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
