Where to watch The Kid Detective
Adam Brody's great in this underrated, darkly comic noir as a one-time child detective turned washed-up adult detective. At turns absurd, poignant and grim.

"An odd little film that might not hit every high note but its diligent avoidance of ending up where we expect it to makes it hard to shake, a disquieting crime drama where solving the mystery isn't enough to make things better."

The Guardian
The Guardian"Wryly humorous for its first hour or so before getting notably darker, but there’s an undercurrent of melancholy in Brody’s performance throughout that works. Too much of it kind of feels like an aborted TV series visually, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do, even presenting two engaging mysteries."
