Todd Gilchrist TheWrap 09/27/2019
Not only fully delivers the conventions of genre and storytelling that audiences expect from the film's premise, but it also elevates and refines them to a sharp point. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich IndieWire 09/25/2019

A lean creature feature that could have used just a little extra meat on its bones. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 02/12/2019
Not quite original or stylish enough to be memorable. Go to Full Review Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) Mar 5
Dillard and co-writers Alex Hyner and Alex Theurer’s script cleverly turns expected tropes on their head and refuses to burden Jenn with the type of dumb decision making to inflict many a horror heroine. Go to Full Review Brandon Stanwyck InSession Film 11/05/2024
B-
The film itself could've used more of an edge. Because once you carve out the lead performance and the central theme, Sweetheart is just your run-of-the-mill-sole-survivor-stranded-on-a-deserted-island-fending-off-a-carnivorous-aquatic-monster movie. Go to Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying 04/20/2022
In many ways, Sweetheart is a very simple but effective story; a gorgeously shot creature-feature-survival-horror that does a lot with a little, elevates the genre, while also building sustainable tension around a terrific lead. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo d Nov 21 Um filme daqueles que não explica o de onde surgiram os personagens, como era a sobrevivência da protagonista a base de água de coco, peixes que ela mesma pescava na baixa maré, e coca cola velha, e nem se foi resgatada, que bicho era aquele e seu propósito. O fim bem xoxo só fiquei pensando que todo aquele incêndio era real e desnecessário, se não for, é um ótimo efeito visual. See more Julian Rex M @Julian_M Jul 30 Sweetheart never fully lives up to the genre-bending, creature-feature thrills it could've, but for those who can forgive its inconsistent, somewhat bland execution, the film may serve as just the right mixture of summer fun, intermittent suspense, and gripping shipwreck drama. See more Korra N Jul 6 The creature design and effects are great and the acting is solid, but the writing and direction keep the film from being great. See more Eric H Jun 15 Bad acting, bad cgi and the ending is just stupid. See more Will D @Spike93 May 4 The interpersonal drama muddies the water, so to speak, in this otherwise well-shot and suspenseful creature feature. See more Joey B 07/30/2024 What a rubbish B grade movie. Acting poor, plot boring, monster completely pathetic. Someone has paid these “expert critics” to boost this nonsense.
