Critics Consensus

A bold and memorable debut that thrusts Zoë Kravitz into the turf of directors to watch, Blink Twice is a live wire of a film.

Sophie Gilbert

The Atlantic

One of Kravitz’s major accomplishments in the movie is how she and the cinematographer, Adam Newport-Berra, make an island paradise feel like hell on Earth.

Kravitz has style and good timing, and Ackie is fantastic in the lead, capable of conveying both “cool girl” and absolute eye-bolting horror.

Rated: 3/5

Micheal Compton

Bowling Green Daily News

Working from a script that she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum, Kravitz shows a keen visual eye and a master sense of pacing – creating a highly effective, star-studded thriller that is also a razor-sharp social commentary.

Rated: B+

Blink Twice may be a little bit uneven, but it’s not easily forgotten.

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

The film’s obsession with forgetting can be read as a commentary on the way we displace culpability for violence onto the poor.

The film opens with a trigger warning due to the depiction of sexual violence against women, indicating that viewers are about to watch a controversial story. The title, "Blink Twice," refers to the old adage suggesting that if someone is in trouble, a true ally would blink twice to signal for help. However, I felt it fell off with trying to include multiple themes all at once (technology, traumas, cancel culture, etc.). However, I will say Channing Tatum did well with acting in this movie cementing his talents to multi-genres.

Plot had potential, but felt like it was still in the rough draft stage and didn’t fully develop. Didn’t need to see this in theaters, probably should have waited to watch it on streaming services.
