Audience Says

Shot in 35mm, Strange Darling is a stylized thriller as sharp and surprising as its co-stars, Kyle Gallner and Willa Fitzgerald, who keep us riveted through every twist and turn.

Between its energetic low-budget engineering and superbly modulated lead performances, there’s no denying that Strange Darling is an accomplished piece of work; the question of what it actually accomplishes, meanwhile, remains open.

3.5/4

There is a beauteously ruthless toxicity to Mollner’s cruel world that’s honestly glorious, and for those that get on his wavelength, Strange Darling is a great deal of malicious fun.

The way the sensuality blended into the increasingly disturbing violence was masterful.

4/5

Strange Darling veers in unpredictable directions with little warning, taking viewers on an exploration of lust, desire, and obsession that is equal parts vulnerable and raw as it is cold-blooded and vicious.

8/10

At face value, Strange Darling is a successful cat-and-mouse thriller from the very beginning, but as the film rolls through its brisk runtime of just under 100 minutes, it proves itself to be a film with something more to say.

Favorite movie of the year. It takes a story that may be less appealing if told in a different way, and sucks you in until the end.

A deadly game of cat and mouse that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. One of the best performances I've seen in ages out of Willa Fitzgerald.
