Sara Michelle Fetters

MovieFreak.com

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

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.

Rated: 4/5

Cameron Ritter

Geek Vibes Nation

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.

Rated: 8/10

Movies We Texted About

Strange Darling is one of the best films of the year. It’s a melting pot of a movie. It’s an edge of your seat thrill ride with comedic undertones, that succeeds at being an homage and thrives in its gratuitousness.

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.
