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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

I recognize her style in many parts, music, cinematography, etc. Stunning. Just didn't like at all the acting of the main guy.

Interesting how this film has a negative audience rating yet movies like Strange Darling have such a high score. Some people taking issue with having to suspend disbelief, yet do not apply the same criticism toward films like John Wick. I thought this movie was a blast. Coralie Fargeat is 2/2 for visually stunning, blood-soaked entertainment.
