Critics Consensus

The Girl with All the Gifts grapples with thought-provoking questions without skimping on the scares -- and finds a few fresh wrinkles in the well-worn zombie horror genre along the way.

Valerie Complex

Black Girl Nerds

Shows like The Walking Dead reign over The Girl With All The Gifts because the breakdown of society, how people fully function within it is the core of the story.

Rated: 2.5/5

Might be the most inadvertently appropriate analog to life in 2017's increasingly unstable world.

It's really the big picture of the film that sets it apart.

The Post NZ

An atmospheric and thrilling tale that has echoes of Children of Men, I Am Legend, The Road and 28 Days Later... in its intimate focus, sombre visuals and bleak narrative which doesn't pull any punches about the plight are characters are in.

Despite the lack of logic and how hard it was for me to see Melanie as a kid, the movie has a disturbing ending and makes you think. Probably, I will not forgive about this one so early. The middle of the movie isn't the best and adults past and psychologic aren't tackled though.

This movie was The Last of Us movie we all wanted. The zombie virus is similar to the one that is in the game. The movie takes a new and interesting approach with the zombie movies we all know and love. Instead of just a virus, it is a fungal infection, making it twice as deadly and easy to catch. A refreshing new take on the genre and definitely worth watching!

One of the better recent zombie movies, for sure. There was a niche to the mythos of *these* zombies which might’ve at first warned me that the story was going down a bad road, but it avoided that pitfall pretty well.

Really liked this one: not only taking a new, rather original look at the zombie genre but having believable characters with their own motivations and dilemmas. Acted very well, and the screenplay is well-paced. This movie gets a lot of things right.

Great cast, effects, storyline. Bit slow but worth the watch.

A really good take on the zombie genre problem. The way it starts is less stereotypical than the tried and tried formula of a zombie apocalypse. It develops in a really unique way, making the "main character" a really interesting character to follow. Obviously, there needs to be one extremely stupid character to drive the plot in that specific direction. It's worth a watch, with moderate reservation about the intelligence of the group being severely dumbed down to make the ending happen.
