What to Know

Critics Consensus

Tragedy Girls injects familiar teen tropes with just enough up-to-the-minute commentary -- and pitch-black humor -- to work as an irreverently entertaining diversion.

... Imagine instead a Heathers that gleefully goes all the way past the point of nihilism, and ends up in a warped funhouse mirror reflection of society that blends camp and satire in equal measure... Go to Full Review

3.5/4
In the meantime, I don't want to oversell a near-great B-movie that is nonetheless a B-movie. Suffice to say Tragedy Girls has great fun with myriad horror movie tropes. Go to Full Review

3/4
For the most part ... the movie cranks visceral, caffeinated thrills out of its teenage-meat grinder. Go to Full Review
Dev Shea Boom Howdy 09/15/2022
The lovely little psychopaths, the gore gags, the realistic and entertaining exchanges: they are all perfect. While the ending isn’t necessarily realistic, it’s tied in a pretty pink blood splattered bow and I was really happy with it. Go to Full Review
Frederick Blichert Vice 02/13/2022
It's over the top, but it maintains a sense of real-worldness, making every murder feel that much more resonantand making laughing that much more uncomfortable. Go to Full Review

Jonathan K Nov 17 It's the casual talk about killing for me. Delightfully psycho. It's pretty funny. Alexandra Shipp is so good. She nails the comedic timing and charisma. The movie has some fun poking at high school movie tropes while also wielding scathing social commentary about social media and popularity. It's perfectly cringey and uncomfortable to see on exaggerated display, while still landing as funny satire.

Rated R for Strong Bloody Horror Violence, Some Sexual References and Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more May 18 I was quite disappointed in this movie. It has a strong opening scene, but then just slid further and further into "OMG girlboss" nonsense. The protagonists were so unlikeable that I was rooting for anything ANYTHING to give them what they were due. There were no payoffs. "The bad girls win every time and get away with it with no stakes or consequences and everyone cheered." They weren't even fun to watch. There wasn't a sliver of believability to them not getting caught either.

THIS CANT BE TO SERIOUS OF A MOVIE WITH TEENAGE GIRLS THAT ARE OBSESS OF THEMSELFS AND SOCIAL MEDIA. I SURE WAS HOPING THEM LUNATICS GOT CAUGHT AT THE END I HIGHLY DONT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE.
