The most positive review

ONE OF THE BEST INDIE FILMS OF LAST YEAR. FRESHMAN DIRECTOR EMERALD FENNELL CREATED THE BEST FEMALE REVENGE FILM OF ALL TIME. SHE ALSO WROTE THIS WITTY AND BRUTALLY REALISTIC STORY. CAREY MULIGANS MOST COMPLEX ROLE TO DATE. A MUST WATCH. (SORRY ABOUT ALL CAPS- KEYBOARD IS BROKEN)

The most negative review

not quite sure what to make of this revenge-thriller. A little heavy-handed at times but I liked Carey Mulligan in the lead and some scenes worked, though I saw one of the twists coming pretty early on. The ending is really dark and was at least surprising. Don't think it quite deserves some of the praise (not to mention a Best Picture nomination) but still worthy of a rental. **3.5/5**
