Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Sep 11
3/5
A psychological thriller fashioned as a bleak coming-of-age story, this adaptation by author Ottessa Moshfegh and her husband, Luke Goebel, of her breakthrough 2015 novel, works hard to capture the mordant detail and interior unease of the text. Go to Full Review
Adam Nayman Toronto Star Jun 17
2.5/4
Bound by the events of the novel but absent its enjoyably sociopathic sense of personality, it hits its marks and quietly trails off to nowhere: a trajectory unworthy of its protagonist. Go to Full Review
Christina Newland iNews.co.uk 09/18/2024
4/5
This adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel is not a story of repression, but something more prickly, more envious, and more dangerous. Go to Full Review
Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios Jul 30
Even if the film feels unsatisfying, the acting is anything but. Go to Full Review
Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta Jul 22
As soon as “Eileen” starts to dive into those themes of persona and the risk that comes with revealing yourself to someone, it hits an abrupt end, rushing through its final twisted gambit. Go to Full Review
David Bax Battleship Pretension Jul 16
Oldroyd lets us live in the nervous fantasies brought on by infatuation and sexual/homicidal daydreaming. Go to Full Review

Thomasin McKenzie continues to shine, Anne Hathaway fascinates as she beats around the bush of her true intentions and Marin Ireland has an excellent single scene performance.
