Best two reviews:
1) Time Out New York - Matthew McConaughey finally locates his perfect métier as the town's Fordian skeptic, a district attorney who smells a rat. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >
2) Village Voice - Richard Linklater's Bernie is the rarest of rarities: a truly unexpected film. It might be classified as a black comedy, for it deals with the murder of an 81-year-old woman in a fashion that is not exactly tragic. (Rating: 80) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
4) The Hollywood Reporter - More than the film that surrounds him, Jack Black is worth the price of admission in Bernie, an oddball May-December true life crime story that would have profited from being a whole lot darker and full-bodied than it is. (Rating: 60) Read Full Review >
5) Boxoffice Magazine - Bernie is an interesting guy, but he doesn't make for very good company. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
