Critics Consensus

Elevated beyond its stagy trappings by Naomie Harris and Natalie Dormer's cunning performances, The Wasp draws blood with minimal irritation.

For better and worse, you can tell that The Wasp was initially written for the stage.

Variety

Morales wisely relies on his two lead actors to bring taut vitality to the proceedings. However, as he keeps putting in many circular scenes that don’t differ much from each other, the intensity of their performances starts to feel inconsistent.

Substream Magazine

To its credit, The Wasp uses that simplification to its advantage and shows the film has much more to offer.

Film Threat

The sundry plot twists are forced, and eventually we mourn the fact that The Wasp ends up in a bizarre perversion of what it was initially set it up to be.

Rated: 5/10

A pleasant surprise; a British thriller (by a Spanish director) that I knew little or nothing about, but that I ended up loving thanks to its efficient script, excellent acting, constant surprises, and intriguing themes. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 4.5/5

WASP WAS GREAT. It had an amazing Plot with a twist that showed vengeance hurt despair and anger. Naomi Harris was off the chain with her acting. Dormer played a great supporting actress as well!!!!!

Underrated flick. Didn’t see much advertising if any but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. No really dull spots or lagging. Nice build and good tie together for everything as it moves along.
