What to Know

Critics Consensus

Having lost much of its bite transitioning to the big screen, Twilight will please its devoted fans, but do little for the uninitiated.

Anne Cohen Refinery29 Ten years after its release, Twilight stands as a powerful, darkly stylish depiction of teen female desire. Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Laremy Legel Film.com My hope is that the sequels are actual attempts at movies. The world doesn't need any more toothless cinema. Rated: C- May 6, 2011 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times A deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the hot-not-to-trot abstinence set. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 8, 2011 Full Review Ezequiel Obregón EscribiendoCine Twilight is a designed film, with rigorous casting and a somewhat predictable script. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Though director Catherine Hardwicke’s movie shouldn’t be labeled unsuccessful, it’s certainly uneven. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The sequels became increasingly silly and overwrought but the original Twilight (2008) is actually kind of interesting even if you are not a devotee of the fan fic-turned-bestseller series.

Audience Member amazing its a cinematic masterpiece. a shame the sequels didnt keep the same director Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Jade P If you read the books first everything would make sense; but if youre looking at it from the presepective of someone who has never read the books before you'd think Edward is just a gaslighting narcassist and it makes no sense for Bella to even be in love with him. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Gabriela G Still a master piece Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Daniel G This is a great drinking game film. Entertainment: not so much Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review I'm D There is something so nostalgic about the first twilight movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Curtis H There’s something strangely familiar and comforting about “Twilight”. I love it for exactly what it is—flawed, yes, but never pretending to be perfect. The series also boasts a genuinely exceptional soundtrack, especially in the first two films. There’s just something special about “Twilight” that keeps pulling me back. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
