Budd Wilkins Slant Magazine Jean-Denis Bonan’s A Woman Kills is the recipient of some amazing cinematic grace, as it once was lost but now is found. Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Jenn Adams Strong Female Antagonist By muddying the waters, asking the audience to sympathize with its antagonist, and refusing to assert the film’s hero as a clear cut savior, A Woman Kills proves to be a rich text worth studying for scholars of film history and gender in narrative art. Rated: B- May 24, 2023 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry As a cinematic time capsule of one of the most famous periods of civil unrest in French history, A Woman Kills is worth (re)discovering… even if its most problematic aspects should be taken, as Howard puts it, with a large grain of salt. Feb 11, 2023 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Even if elements of the film don’t jive with today’s cultural ideas, being able to look back on stories made decades ago allows audiences to see how concepts of sex, murder, social responsibility, & authoritarianism are identical to and dissimilar to now.
