3/4
The script is an airtight lair. Go to Full Review Ross McIndoe Slant Magazine 09/02/2024

For better and worse, you can tell that The Wasp was initially written for the stage. Go to Full Review Murtada Elfadl Variety 08/31/2024
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. Go to Full Review Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) May 8
The Wasp may be better suited to its stage origins, however, thanks to surprise story beats and electric face-offs between Harris and Dormer, you won’t need bug spray to fend off this taut thriller. Go to Full Review Kevin Harley Radio Times Apr 1
3/5
As themes of class, race and lingering trauma surface, Harris and Dormer bring conviction and ferocity to this contained exercise in contrasts and cold enmity. Go to Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine 09/25/2024
To its credit, The Wasp uses that simplification to its advantage and shows the film has much more to offer. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/05/2024 Blew my mind! No notes, please go in completely blind! See more 09/03/2024 Excellent film! New faces, Brit film, great performances. Great plot twists I never saw coming! Highly recommended! See more 09/02/2024 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!!!!! See more 08/31/2024 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. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Oct 22 4.0 stars; This is definitely a two-woman performance in a single location, i.e., a stage play. So what is it doing on the big screen, you ask? If it were a stage play, it would be Broadway level just on the performances alone, which were superb. The reason it makes a good movie, to me, is because of the way the plot is laid out. There is no real character development in the beginning of the film; you're left to do that on your own. However, as the film progresses, the revealed previous history between the two women exposes the character of each. There are a number of surprises along the way that keep you engaged. That engagement is rewarded by an ending that you're not really prepared for. See more Mark B @Mbindon Aug 12 Strong performances and solid plot keeps you engaged. See more Read all reviews
