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.

It’s a good revenge movie. But, it could have, and should have been a half hour shorter than it was. There were just so many long scenes where the camera follows characters walking around, with nothing happen and nobody talking, for super long periods of time, for absolutely no reason! But when the action is happening, it’s almost worth it… super bloody movie

It was a little crazy with the blood, (I don't think the human body has that much in it) and the injuries were worse than they should have been or they were injuries you definitely wouldn't be running around with, but I rally thought it was well done. The movie is half in French BTW

Grindhouse extraordinaire! The most ridiculous & unrealistic violence yet it’s sickeningly good. The sound & score add so much to the atmosphere. Well shot with palpable intensity. A simple premise that goes absolutely wild with it.
