Critics Consensus

Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie prove a well-matched duo in Eileen, which honors its source material with a twisty tale of obsession.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk This adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel is not a story of repression, but something more prickly, more envious, and more dangerous. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday Finding the right ending remains one of the most difficult and persistent challenges in telling a story, so filmmakers deserve some latitude in carving one out, but they rarely miss this badly. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Maxwell Rabb Chicago Reader Eileen is triumphant, a rousing directorial success from Oldroyd. Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) Uneven but revealing... Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League The darkness it laments on makes it quite an engaging movie with compelling food for thought. One just wishes it had a touch more flair to its conclusion. Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine Eileen invites a deep reflection on the human condition, particularly in terms of dysfunctionality and family trauma.

carolyn Enjoyed this intense drama Great acting Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review ALVIN H Enjoyable noir thriller set in the 60s Massachusetts background Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Keny She's about to do what she's about to do... and she's about to show what the other girls shoulda did Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Mark II Story about a perverted girl with no explanation as to why. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Michael Cox EILEEN's at its best is when it shifts genres to become a sensual thriller. Thomasin McKenzie continues to shine, Anne Hathaway fascinates as she beats around the bush of her true intentions and Marin Ireland has an excellent single scene performance. Very abrupt about things tho Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Lisa M Amazing. Compelling and unique with great acting. Not for young children and may trigger people so if you have issues read more about it first. One of the best films I have seen in a long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
