Critics Consensus

Pixie borrows shamelessly from multiple like-minded heist thrillers; fortunately, Olivia Cooke's outstanding lead performance makes for a great getaway vehicle.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Some gorgeous Irish scenery along with stunning (sometimes violent) plot twists and snappy one-liners (and some gorgeous scenery) make "Pixie" a quirky winner, ideal for the weekend while knocking back a Guinness.

Rated: 3/4

FilmWeek (LAist)

A decent, gory Irish comedy. It's like a diet-Martin McDonagh.

Olivia Cooke is reason enough to watch Pixie. If you've yet to be mesmerized by her acting chops, here's your chance...

Pixie feels like the late-1990s independent comedy that time forgot.

Pixie is worth seeking out for the laughs, and for a lead performance that keeps you glued to the screen.

Started strong with an interesting premise, great cast, good ditecting & really good music. But the writing though was weak. The plot was swiss cheese for all the holes in it & it was literally copying scenes from other films. I don’t know why they wrote it as such, but it seemed like they were trying to make an American Film….and a bad one. Let the U.S. make their Films good or bad, but don’t emulate them. Disappointed.

First movie I watched in theater after the covid shutdown let up. It was smart, mean and wickedly funny. It was exactly what I needed to see. Sad that Covid robbed if of any chance for success. Olivia Cooke managed an amazing feat in the '20s, a smart strong woman who was sexy, feminine and didn't hate men. I actually liked Alec Baldwins performance in this too which amazed me. It didn't hurt that everybody in the movie, including the hero was a scumbag. How refreshing.
