Critics Consensus

More unsettling than truly scary, She Will casts a thoughtful, hypnotic spell made even stronger by its restrained approach and some strong performances.

Edward Porter Times (UK) It might not chill you to the core, but it’s ripe and entertaining. Rated: 3/5 Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Marries the spiralling, self-reflexive narrative of Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House with echoes of the off-kilter visual sensibility of the 1962 cult oddity Carnival of Souls. Rated: 4/5 Jul 24, 2022 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is a very powerful film -- not so much good as disquieting and effective. Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers In Ghent, Colbert explores how trauma distorts both the passage of time and reality itself, and how perspective and purpose are ultimately constructs that can — over a lifetime — evolve or evaporate. Oct 26, 2023 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) She Will is an elegant debut from Colbert, who manifests different gothic horror elements within the narrative and cinematography. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Kristin Battestella InSession Film She Will forces us to pay attention to our mother daughter relationships, women's horrors, and real world consequences.

rocktrim not quite sure what was going on there. maybe im not smart enough to interpret the subtle plot development. i think it was about healing properties of hallowed ground due to witches killed centuries before. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/19/22 Full Review Bailey Giannini While I was at my local library picking out some movies I was looking for some scary movies that I hadn’t seen. I came across this one. She Will is such an unbearable and terrible watch, that I had to ask myself what did I do in this lifetime to deserve such mental torture. The movie stars, Alice Krige, Amy Mason and Malcolm McDowell. The story well, it takes such a weird turn that the special effects practically take over and it gets to the point where there is no story at all, just a bunch of abstract witchcraft imagery, and from I what I perceived perhaps some improv scenes incorporated within the film. The movie is supposedly about an old movie star who after having breast surgery goes to an isolated healing retreat with her young nurse, but get this, the cabin where she’s staying at has other guests, so she’s not isolated after all, that’s quite a turn already right? Well it might start off as a pretty good introduction but once we get to what are supposed to be are the scares and the frights is where the film turns into boredom and you start looking at your iPhone and checking maybe your calendars or what not, because this movie doesn’t keep you engaged at all. It becomes abstract in the most freaky way possibly. In one scene for instance we see nothing but Alice Krige’s character, Veronica Ghent burning up, and this goes on for what feels like a couple of minutes rather than a few seconds. Also I don’t know what the purpose was about having her go outside of the cabin at the healing retreat and go into the woods like she was possessed and commit killings with the use of spiritual evil muck from the ground and then suddenly reappearing back in her bed, I was wondering did she like, teleport back or something. To me that made zero sense. Out of all of the horror movies that I have seen recently, this one definitely is in my top 5 of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. -Bailey Giannini (Film Critic/Movie Buff) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Tom L Solid cast, intelligent writing, great cinematography and scenery/setting, positivity dripping (sometimes literally) with an atmosphere of nebulous dread. And yet I couldn’t help but feel like the film didn’t quite deliver on its promise of dark and vague foreboding in the woods, with its dreadful history of witch burnings. The progression of the relationship between the two female leads was poignant and handled well, but the eventual revelation of what amounted to a revenge tale was a bit disappointing. Still, this film has much to recommend it. I was reminded of the strange and unsettling stories of Robert Aickman, particularly in the movie’s early scenes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Melissa L Great movie. Suspenseful and atmospheric. Great acting. Forget the low ratings...I recommend it! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Natalie Jo B Must see - really fantastic cinematography and cosmology Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Kyle M It re-summons the 70s psychology with less visceral shock but eased unsettlingly whilst reasoning with the timely given thematic material as it creeps ominously to little, decently average impressive effect, powered by fine performative participations in one degree of inadvertent spiritual continuation.
