Critics Reviews

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times "Revenge" is confidently paced and well balanced between suspense and local color. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Little more than a genre exercise that rehashes a wealth of revenge-movie themes and tropes. Rated: 2.5/4 May 27, 2016 Full Review Rich Cross Starburst Kjersti Steinsbø's adaptation wisely spends time building tension and apprehension, and the rising sense of something awful and imminent. Rated: 8/10 Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry Revenge starts strong, fueled by the intense draw of the unknown. Yet as more and more is revealed, the film runs out of steam, crashing to a less-than-satisfying conclusion. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Echoes of films like Fatal Attraction and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle add texture, but this is a freak-out with its own nasty gut punch. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Adrian Mack Georgia Straight Compulsively watchable. Jun 2, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Revenge" is a steady, methodical character study, driven by cruelty and fueled by retribution. The story is a classic revenge thriller tale in that it focuses on one woman's journey to exact revenge. Kjersti Steinsbø's prose stays more within the drama and psychological methodology of the victim's motivatio, as opposed to traditional films focusing on graphic violence. "Revenge" works when connecting the viewer with a sympathetic perspective, but fails when approaching the thriller edge, needed to excite the story's more psychological criminality eluded to in the plot details. The film does manage to be an original approach to the revenge subgenre story. Instead of going for gore and gratuitous violence. Steinsbø chooses a more empathetic, dramatic approach, allowing for the viewer to be imaginative in interpreting the moments as they unfold. It proves well at giving the movie a more sophisticated look and feel. Unfortunately the volume of material presented isn't enough to maintain the initial level of suspense, and intrigue the the beginning builds. Overall "Revenge" is a delightful, captivating melodrama that tip-toes around rap-revenge tropes without getting dirty. Shot beautifully and told with heartfelt honesty. However it will only resonate with indie world cinema crowds, satisfied with drama framed by some of the world's prettiest scenery. Horror and traditional revenge thriller fans will find very little to sustain them during the film's running time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
