Critics Consensus

Revenge slices and dices genre tropes, working within an exploitation framework while adding a timely -- yet never less than viscerally thrilling -- feminist spin.

A stunning reinvention of the rape-revenge exploitation film that had me sitting at the edge of my seat first frame to last.

This first feature from French director Coralie Fargeat is an impactful entry into the rape-revenge subgenre that attempts to shift the focus from the male gaze to the female perspective.

2/4

Revenge is a promising first film and, with any luck, perhaps Fargeat will approach her next film with more of an eye on instilling some dimensionality into her characters to achieve a stronger sense of catharsis.

4/5

Once you transcend the gore, the sheer originality of its dynamics, the ingenious transgression of its point of view (...) makes it a thrill ride of mythic proportions.

It knows its niche perfectly. It fills that niche precisely.

Fab! No notes. I love how she dived in the pool at the end just like the guy did when he was letting his friend SA her. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I felt they were saying and no, she doesn’t feel bad for protecting herself.

Having used rotten tomatoes for years, I finally created an account just to review this movie - because RT screwed me. 90%+ critics score is just mind boggling and the viewer score of 61% amazes me too. I was expecting a gritty French thriller - what I got was an exploitation movie in which I hated the characters, the dialogue, the acting, the decision making of said characters, the ridiculous survivability of our protagonist and the endless pints of blood that several characters seem to possess in flagrant disregard to human anatomy. I wanted to turn this off after an hour but my wife was in a spiteful mood and forced me to watch to the end. Luckily, by the time the final third of the movie began she was willing to join in taking the p*ss out of it and I can honestly say it became funnier than most comedies I've seen this year. This was so bad it's really put me off watching the director's next film - the Demi Moore starring 'The Substance'. With any luck the characters in that movie will have been written with more substance. And I don't want to hear the argument about female empowerment when grading this movie, as regardless of message, the film still has to be good. This is a massive 👎from me.

Never underestimate girl power. There is nothing pleasant about this movie, but that doesn't mean it was a bad movie. It was just tough to watch for the majority of the film

Only the French could make a movie that was almost good to be this extremely frustrating.
