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.

Variety

With her stylish and bloody rape-revenge thriller, French first-timer Coralie Fargeat turns a disputable subgenre upside down.

Rape. Blood. Desert. Blood. Death. Blood. Drugs. Did I mention blood?Revenge, directed by Coralie Fargeat, is the French rape-revenge film you've been waiting for.

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

Rated: 3.5/4

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 2/4

Lola On Film

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.

Rated: 4/5

The stylization is sensory overload with micro shots of movements and radical colorings.

There are several plot holes and illogical character moments that don't really add up, however if you manage to ignore all that and suspend disbelief, "Revenge" is a very intense experience. The photography and locations are fantastic, the action is really suspenseful, the acting is convincing, and the prosthetics and effects are excellent, leading to some particularly visceral scenes. It's also worth noting that the three men are guilty in different ways, which gives the story a broader scope.

Almost everything about this was bad, except the girl was hot. Completely unrealistic in every way. I thought the substance was amazing but this one not so great.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Having been raped, and attacked by multiple men, and consequently having one nightmare after another (in which I thought I was awake), I must say... both incredibly CREATIVE and, unfortunately, quite REALISTIC. Wish I could have MY Revenge. :/
