Leave your thoughts about Josie.
| Film ThreatNorm GidneyJosie takes its Texas time meandering through the three-act structure that we've come to expect and the effect is actually an interesting thing to see happen in retrospect. |
| Film Journal InternationalAnna StormSilly, melodramatic stuff is this Southern-set "thriller," which refuses to realize its campy potential and instead, regrettably, plays it straight. |
| Movies in FocusNiall BrowneA modern day noir, Josie is a film which only registers because of the performances from leads Sophie Turner and Dylan Mc Dermott. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAt various moments throughout the movie, Turner and McDermott suggest something far more complicated and messy than the noir-tinged exercise that unfolds. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezComplicating Sophie Turner's character would have allowed the film to feel as if it had more on its mind than pulling the rug out from under us. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyAs the movie did its slow fizzle, I couldn’t help but wonder when the #MeToo movement was going to make its way into actual movie content. Because the misogyny inherent in Josie isn’t just objectionable, it’s boring. |
| The PlaylistEli FineThere’s a lot wrong with Josie, but the thing that sinks it beyond the possibility of recommendation in any circumstance is its aforementioned third-act twist and ending. |
| VarietyNick SchagerWhile eschewing genre formula is admirable, England’s tack proves enervating, since Hank and Josie generally feel like archetypes devoid of purpose. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenComing up short on tension and long on talky exposition, Josie emerges as a Southern-fried dramatic thriller that fails to deliver the pulpy goods despite a nicely rooted Dylan McDermott lead performance. |
