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.

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

Eileen is triumphant, a rousing directorial success from Oldroyd.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

It feels like we’re watching a Todd Haynes film as filtered through the lens of a Hitchcockian tale, with a late-story development that’s bat-bleep crazy but also gripping.

Rated: 3/4

Eileen is an unexpectedly captivating noir. The performances are rich, the intrigue palpable and the laughs very, very dark.

Like Lady Macbeth, this provides a terrific showcase for his multi-talented leading lady, even if Hathaway gets all the best lines and outfits.

Rated: 4/5

The News Lens International

The film’s story and character arcs are broadly predictable, and there are few noteworthy plot details to speak of. ... Once logic goes out the window, it doesn’t come back.

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

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.
