Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter The ending is left deliberately, unsatisfyingly ambiguous, but whatever her fate may be, in or out of the system, it doesn't matter that much to the viewer. Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety Right up to the slightly unsatisfying ending, "Ava" is both a complex character portrait and a heartsore farewell to the ephemeral images that will be among the last she sees. May 20, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Stylistic impact notwithstanding, the film is unbalanced by aimless plotting and queasy questions about the sexualisation of a vulnerable child protagonist. May 19, 2017 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Fascinating and at times, sensual, Ava is always enigmatic but perhaps a little disappointing in its conclusion... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Strikingly crafted, this concise drama is as pristine on the aesthetic surface as it is infuriating in the needless conflicts it astutely depicts. Oct 15, 2020 Full Review Katie Hogan VultureHound Director and writer Léa Mysius' story plays out almost as calmly as the serene beach resort it is set in. Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Call it atomic blonde part deux. I think no more assassin movies is the best move for this leading lady. Zero dark dope. This disaster? . Notice how her moves happen before she is attacked. Symbolic of poor strength etc. Sorry , although I believe that women can be action hero's. Neither this nor atomic blonde come close. In fact they are both a disgrace to assassin movies. If women want to be i assassin movies at least do some pull ups. Even with the suspension of disbelief the fighting is hard to believe. Well at least it nominally better than atomic blonde, and that got a sequel, so I think it's fair to say, we are all screwed Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible dialoges and strange film in total Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the most uninteresting coming of age movies i have ever watched. It steals ideas and old metaphors from many well known places but doesnt manage to make sth out of it. It destroys its own tone and puts it into a soup of what might look deep or philosophical but is not at all. By trying so hard to find poetic metaphors and pictures it doesnt build up any real poetry. Worst thing for a movie which still about telling a conventional aimed to a linear end story is: you dont care about any of those one dimensional characters.
