| The PlaylistAnna BogutskayaThe plot is mostly irrelevant, aside from how it allows for Reeder’s ideas and imagery to flow. Oozing, gooey blood and messed-up school uniforms, secrets whispered in high school bathrooms, glitter dresses, and uncanny face masks all meld together to create a film rich in atmosphere and artifice. |
| The Film StageDavid KatzReeder boldly conceives of the patriarchy as an extractive force, not just harming female solidarity and individuality, but using it as a resource to grotesquely mine from. |
| Screen DailyJonathan RomneyIt’s McKirnan’s unflappable performance and energetic humour that hold it all together. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerPerpetrator may be silly and over-the-top, but inside of it lies a beating heart — quite literally, you will see — that yearns to express itself. |
| IndieWireJude DryPerpetrator suffers from a novice lead performance and a script that tries to do too much. It’s an ambitious addition to the feminist horror genre with blood and guts to spare, but it’s no game-changer. |
| VarietyJessica KiangOperating at a strange remove from modern reality, it seems to belong more to the teen experience of a couple of decades ago, the very era from which so many of its reference points hail. |
