Matthew Turner Action Reloaded The chilling statistics in the captions at the end might just be the film’s scariest element. Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Tom Jolliffe Flickering Myth Overall, this effective drama repeats elements we have seen before, but not often with this level of honesty. Finding Nicole reminds us not to ignore an ugly truth that’s still prevalent, and a committed cast hammer home that message. Rated: 3/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Despite its indie limitations, Finding Nicole delivers a raw, emotional impact thanks to Kaiti Wallen’s powerful performance. Rated: 6.5/10 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com Though the production values are mostly adequate and the dialogue is occasionally tinny, the quality of the acting sustains the film admirably, with Kaiti Wallen convincing in her portrayal of a woman who, despite her ordeal, refuses to remain passive. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2025 Full Review Romey Norton Film Focus Online Finding Nicole is a raw, quietly powerful film that’s uncomfortable viewing, but that’s exactly the point. By centering the voice of a real survivor and refusing to look away, it becomes a film of rare urgency and empathy. Rated: 2.5/5 May 28, 2025 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy 'Finding Nicole' blends the best of a courtroom drama with an enthralling crime thriller. May 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
