From writer/director Nia DaCosta comes a provocative, modern reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play. HEDDA (Tessa Thompson) finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life. Over the course of one charged night, long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt--pulling her and everyone around her into a spiral of manipulation, passion, and betrayal.

Hedda is one of the year's best movies with Thompson nothing short of wondrous.

Observer

DaCosta’s work here has little sense of rhythm, reaction, or revelation.

Rated: 1.5/4

Mashable

Sumptuous, hot, and challenging, this is a drama of love, sex, and regret that burns like a shot of whisky, so good you'll want to go at it again.

Stereo Geeks (Podcast)

Despite feeling like the second half dragged on, I can’t believe we have something like Hedda... I’m more than shocked that western media has denied these diverse and inclusive takes of classic tales. We need so many more of these.

While Tessa Thompson performance is a force of nature unfortunately whenever she's not on screen the flaws and missteps are impossible to ignore.

Rated: D

Though it’s been a minute since she’s had a film to really sink her teeth into, “Hedda” proves you should never bet against writer-director Nia DaCosta.
