Critics Consensus

A Good Woman Is Hard to Find, but it isn't difficult to see a star in the making while watching Sarah Bolger's powerful performance in this gritty thriller.

Read Critics Reviews

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

Mixing Ken Loach-style social realism with Mike Hodge's grasp of stylish murder, much in the vein of 2012's equally razor-balanced sniper shocker Tower Block, you'll be cheering for this good woman when she faces the inevitable showdown.

Rated: 3.5/5

A Good Woman Is Hard to Find is a slow burn with an ending that's worth the wait.

It's blood curdling stuff and it's not for the squeamish, but Bolger grounds it and centers it as the story of a struggling mother protecting her loved ones at any cost.

Rated: B

...this is a tough, intermittently gripping thriller, but Sarah Bolger gives it a heart that makes A Good Woman is Hard to Find a cut above the norm....

I found that there was nothing disappointing about A Good Woman Is Hard To Find and I am glad that it has now landed on DVD and VOD as it made my Top 20 Films Of 2019 list after I was lucky enough to catch it on the festival circuit.

Rated: 4/5

Keith & the Movies

The not so great title aside, Pastoll, Bolger and screenwriter Ronan Blaney tell a gritty crime story that takes some unexpectedly grisly turns (it’s not for the squeamish).

Rated: 3.5/5

Don't believe the negative reviews. Must be by people who are afraid to see a women fight back. Yes there is some violence but its a good thriller. Quite unusual only in that its a women who seeks vengeance. Should be more of it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Bolstered by an incredible lead performance, A Good Woman is Hard to Find is a thriller with intention. Its violence is rare but highly effective. When the credits roll, you will understand why this film comes with a recommendation.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good film. The characters are plausible, and no one is a cardboard cut-out. The film powerfully conveys the sense of being trapped in the difficult life the lead character subjected to. Tough she is, though, and not in a crazy Rambo-esque way.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

When normal people would have thought it would have been better to tell the police the truth. Far fetched origin of a female Dexter Morgan and assassin.
