Critics Consensus

Arch and too cute by half, Violet & Daisy cycles through too many bad ideas to make use of Alexis Bledel and Saoirse Ronan's combined talents.

Matt Zoller Seitz

Chicago Sun-Times

A thriller that might as well have been released in 1996, when everybody and their brother and their sister and their cousin twice-removed was trying to be Quentin Tarantino ...

Rated: 2/4

You can almost see the moment when the super-talented Saoirse Ronan checks out in terms of character and I think James Gandolfini gave up before the end of rehearsal. I just felt bad for Alexis Bledel.

Rated: 1.5/5.0

Mary Houlihan

Chicago Sun-Times

Of course, the violence is cringe-worthy and, at times, over the top. But view this as a modern comic book/fairy tale, and it's easier to accept this saga of girls with guns and the life lessons they eventually confront.

Rated: 3/4

Moveable Fest

Gleefully amoral and esoteric, its destiny as a cult hit is probably already written, but otherwise it's a breath of fresh air that defies classification, despite the fact it comes at the expense of someone's last gasp.

Comes off like teenagers playing at Quentin Tarantino.

Movie Talk

This self-consciously quirky comedy-thriller... swings unevenly between passages of soul searching and bouts of cartoony violence in the Tarantino mould.

Esta película la tenía superpendiente porque la vi en TikTok y me llamo mucho la atención que salieras estas dos actrices juntas y que amo... Ahora, las actuaciones las sentí muy buenas, me gusto y sentí conexión con los personajes. La trama fue muy interesante, si siento que no estoy tan acostumbrada a este tipo de trama, que deja mucho abierto, pero se me hizo entretenida, la disfrute y se me hizo buena. Si es de esas películas que te dejan como dos sensaciones, me gusto, pero sentí que vi algo raro

Not the best story with this premise but effectively quirky and a lot of fun.

Many makes for a cult classic, might have to rewatch after some time and decide if it holds up.

Not my kind of film, but it's certainly original and quirky. We get a little background on Violet but not much on Daisy. Allegedly a couple of under-18 teens have taken on a nice PT job of assasin, but the question is why? Would have been better to build the story up and their relationship, how they met, how they became assasisns rather than just being thrown into the middle of the story. I loved the daddy / daughter connection between asassisn / target and the odd contradictions it presents. Good overall, but with more backstory, it would have been better

Really enjoyed the movie... great acting, but I was completely confused by what was suppose to be happening... So many things I didn't understand, but strangely enough I still enjoyed it.
