What to Know

Critics Consensus

Burdened with action clichés and tripped up by a late plot twist, Sweet Girl wastes a potentially resonant story and some solid work from its well-matched leads.

Read Critics Reviews

Audience Says

Lower your expectations, Jason Momoa fans -- he's an entertaining action star, but Sweet Girl is a slow journey to an unforgivably dopey twist.

Robert Levin Newsday A dour slog through rote conspiratorial territory without a distinguishing factor to be found beyond the capable lead. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News [A] cynical and violent exercise that never figures out which story it wants to tell. Rated: 2/4 Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The plot is wilfully dumb, the message pernicious. Momoa walks through it, his emotions running the gamut from A to... well, just A. Rated: 2/5 Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film If you're going to watch Sweet Girl, expect the unexpected. Your jaw might drop in utter confusion, and pure shock as a decently crafted actioner gets completely ruined by one single twist. Rated: D Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community I have to say while [Sweet Girl] had its faults I actually enjoyed it. It’s nothing stellar by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a decent popcorn flick. Rated: 7/10 Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Mendoza kept me locked into his story, confused and frustrated at times, but entertained throughout.

Timothy E This is a good movie because send how people feels about cancer. This is something they need to make a cure for. Towards the end was real good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Sweet Girl - 4/10. Brian Andrew Mendoza debuts with a clunky whimper of an action film. Starring Jason Momoa and Isabela Merced, who happen to be the only good things about the movie, star as a father and daughter team who seek out to get justice against a pharmaceutical company. Along the way, they dive deep into a corrupt system, finding out evil truths. What could have been an interesting film turns out to be a highly missed opportunity. And with an unbelievable (in a bad way) plot twist, the movie veers towards cliche and tried and tired tropes. Spoilers for anyone who will want to see the film, but the plot twist makes for a ridiculous reveal. If the story had revolved around the daughter from the beginning, this might have ended up being an interesting film. However, you get invested in the father, and it all goes down the drain with that twist. Its like baking a birthday cake and having it turn out to be a pumpkin pie. You expect one thing and you get something else in return. The film has great acting from the lead duo, who help bring the film out of gutter with convincing performances. The action is somewhat decent, though a little hard to see due to shoddy camera work. All in all, another failed star vehicle from Netflix. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Dave V It was a good movie until the end. It made no sense. I thought I missed something. I went through all that for nothing??? Made absolutely no sense. Who jumped? Who did all of the killing? Was it a dream? Did he die at the beginning? The ending completely lost me. Do not watch this movie, for you will be angry at the end. Utter stupidity!!!! It was really good until the end. Then she didn't even do the right thing!!!!! Kill them all. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Cambree C A lot of action, decent storyline Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review petrs l Adorable, entertaining, great actors, great story! I recommend it 100%. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review James H Don't watch, half decent plot and action. The ending totally ruins the film it's stupid. The ending makes it a very pointless watch Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
