Critics Consensus

Homewrecker's occasionally distracting budget constraints are outweighed by its solid casting and admirably taut construction.

Guardian

Fundamentally, it never finds a convincing pitch.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Chronicle

Honestly, you'll feel as trapped in Linda's not-so-funhouse as Michelle. At least you'll have an easier time getting out.

Rated: 0.5/5

[Essoe] rides an emotional rollercoaster throughout the film that's frequently extraordinary.

Rated: 3/4

Video Librarian Magazine

...the full-bodied performances of [Alex] Essoe and [Precious] Chong go a long way, not least because the film is a two-hander that takes place primarily in one location.

Rated: 2.5/4

Warped Perspective

It reverts to tried-and-tested fare at its close which may smack of overfamiliarity.

Rated: C-

Ready Steady Cut

A short, sharp black comedy from Canada, Homewrecker (directed by Zach Gayne) is a cautionary tale about making friends too easily.

Rated: 3/5
