Leave your thoughts about She Will.
| ColliderChase HutchinsonWhat is undeniable is its sense of vision, a fully realized work that marks Colbert as a director to watch in absolutely anything she takes on next. |
| VarietyJessica KiangAs a superbly crafted, thematically rich fable, it administers a potent dose of #MeToo vengeance, all while wearing its nasty sense of humor like a red-lipstick grin applied to a perfectly masklike face. |
| Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganIt fields such a disorientating mix of styles and symbols and tonal swerves (Rupert Everett going full fruit, for example), that it’s quite a surprise that Colbert has managed to weave a structured story throughout She Will. But she has. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayIt’s sort of a supernatural thriller; but it’s more of a wry and strikingly poetic vision of feminist retribution. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakBoth Krige and Eberhardt deliver subtly quiet performances within this atmospherically fragmented pursuit of vengeance, ultimately transforming into agents of change. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyShe Will isn't exactly a horror movie. It has its creepy moments, particularly in the visual collages and Clint Mansell's unnerving score, but it's more thought-provoking than scary. |
| EmpireIan FreerShe Will is meditative horror, parlaying modern concerns through a thick, ancient atmosphere. It perhaps has too much on its mind, but Charlotte Colbert’s debut works as an imaginative and unsettling calling card. |
| Film ThreatAlex SavelievResembling a gradual immersion into a fever dream, the film slyly pays tribute to surrealist greats like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Dario Argento (“presented by” the latter director, it wears the tag proudly), yet also introduces a unique new talent with a fresh, distinct vision. |
| The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeA thrillingly intense central performance by Alice Krige (who earned her genre spurs in the underrated 1981 screen adaptation of Peter Straub’s Ghost Story) is the lightning rod at the core of the film, grounding its hallucinogenic visuals in the terra firma of past tragedies and modern traumas, provoking “dark thoughts; really dark thoughts”. |
| Wall Street JournalKyle SmithIt’s stylish and chilling, with a lively feminist undercurrent. |
