Independent (UK)

Miss Violence is a grim tale of family dysfunction that also stands as an allegory about moral and economic decline in Greek society.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

It (self-evidently) does not have the humour of those movies by Lanthimos and Tsangari and by that token, less of their richness and inventiveness. But its force can't be doubted.

Rated: 3/5

Alexa Dalby

Dog and Wolf

Though beautifully shot, and with great artistic merit, Miss Violence is also an unremittingly harsh, disturbing movie to watch, and it leaves its taint behind in the memory.

Rated: 4/5

CineVue

A cliché-ridden slice of miserablist European exploitation.

Rated: 1/5

Digital Journal

Though people may be tempted to frame this story in the context of Greece's debt crisis, it's important to remember Miss Violence is about power not about money.

Very slow movie. You will lose your focus in the first 30 mins.

Simply agonizing, how nauseous I got is no joke, plus it's pretty heavy. You can feel the sadness and emptiness in the eyes of the characters, it makes you feel sorry.

This film is morally very heavy, it is a difficult boulder to carry along the whole vision which in my opinion is too long, the film could have lasted much less and in any case be very valid and less heavy. But the film is very beautiful and very deep and to watch it you really need a great deal of patience and a great desire to take on a heavy weight.
