Critics Consensus

Fantastic acting and crisply choreographed action sequences propel this unique, cool take on the revenge thriller.

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

The plot is preposterous, but Joe Wright, the director, gives the movie enough audacious drive and style for the story to skim over the holes in the narrative logic.

Even though there are misogynistic undercurrents to the fatal gunshot wound Hanna delivers... Weigler will never die because she lives on in Hanna, and her story will be retold and revised just like the fables women and girls pass on to one another.

The thing with Joe Wright's beautifully shot movie is that it never really feels true.

Rated: 2.5/5

Den of Geek

Hanna shows some promise, particularly in Ronan’s versatile performance, but between the overwrought style and underdeveloped script, there’s plenty for Wright to workshop...

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

There may not be as much grand meaning or deeply affecting substance when compared to his previous works, but Wright and company have created an exciting story, richly told with copious amounts of style.

Rated: 3.5/4

Hanna doesn't bore for a single moment, although it's unintelligible for most minutes. [Full review in Spanish]

Yeah. No thank you. Too much weirdness struggling to gain your attention and lacking in quality and storytelling. Character development and thoroughness severely lacking. Skip it.

Weird. No brainer that could never happen. Dragged out. Too many loose ends on everyone but the two main characters.

The plot of this fantasy-thriller-action heroine movie is a stretch, but the coming of age story is moving, on-the-road settings beautifully filmed, and the acting is superb. It's not hard to see why (then only 17) Saoirse Ronan has since become a star.

Comfortably the worst film I have watched in recent years. Redeeming features? Hard to find any. Cate’s hair?
