Observer

Everything about this bomb is inexplicably odd, from the plot to the camerawork to the fact that there is no credit for screenplay—maybe if you see it, you’ll know why.

Rated: 1/4

Variety

That it stars an Oscar winner only makes the whole thing stranger — viewers are likely to spend more time wondering how she came to be involved in such a shoestring production than sympathizing with her character.

Wall Street Journal

Measure of Revenge moves with too much trepidation -- or too much style, one might say -- for a convincing urban thriller. Director Peyfa’s oblique approach to the narrative leads one astray.

Culture Mix

Measure of Revenge is such an atrocious dud, no one wants to be listed as the movie's screenwriter. It's a heinous story about a Broadway actress who becomes a murderous vigilante.

Alex Saveliev

Film Threat

The plot lurches from one awkwardly-staged, heavy-handed, poorly-lit, bathed in eye-scorching soft-focus sequence to another with little regard for tonal shifts or narrative fluidity.

Rated: 3/10

Leo’s up to it, even if the film isn’t up to her.

It looks like it was poorly directed. While the story should have been good, everything was just a bit off.

Melissa Leo's performance is powerful and incredible. I love seeing a story like this told from a female's perspective, a mother nonetheless. It's original, erudite and compelling. Love the way theater mixes and adds to the story and overall concept. The music is beautiful. Bravo to all involved in this film.
