Leave your thoughts about Catch the Fair One.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeCatch the Fair One is activist filmmaking at its most compelling. Before you run away from the notion, consider this: It doesn’t feel like this tough, relentlessly dark thriller is trying to push some kind of political point, even if so many of its creative choices succeed in doing exactly that. |
| Film ThreatBobby LePireCatch The Fair One is a fantastic and engaging effort across the board. The direction is lean and ably brings forth the emotional truth of each scene. |
| TheWrapRonda Racha PenriceReis, in her acting debut, is a captivating lead whose eyes speak volumes. And so does her body. There’s an openness in her presence that serves as a direct window into K.O.’s pain and her struggle. |
| The PlaylistRobert DanielsBy the waning minutes, when the film’s glimmering neorealism energy returns, cleansing the abrupt conclusion with a spellbound spirituality, Wladyka has assuredly provided a distinct vision that pulses to potent degrees. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyCatch the Fair One is a revenge-thriller, and a satisfying one, since the evil on display is so total. However, the satisfaction is hollow. Hopelessness is the dominant mood. |
| Paste MagazineAparita BhandariCatch the Fair One is a grim and powerful watch. Its taut thriller structure keeps the story moving along. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeAlthough Wladyka foregrounds the movie’s razor-sharp edge—there’s a torture scene midway through that’s especially shocking—there’s a political undercurrent to the story, as well as an emotional one, that give Catch The Fair One uncommon resonance. |
| Screen RantMae AbdulbakiPoignant and raw, the film is effective in all the ways it should be. While it does a better job engaging with its revenge-fueled storyline in lieu of a more familial exploration in the wake of the tragedy, the film still manages to land a heart wrenching blow. |
| The Film StageMichael FrankWladyka’s film is always gripping, always searching, and always testing the boundaries of its protagonist and its audience. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichDespite — or perhaps because of — how evocative Reis’ performance can be, Catch the Fair One asks her to fill in too many of its blanks. |
