Chicago Sun-Times
Suffice to say Tragedy Girls has great fun with myriad horror movie tropes. - 85
IGN
Funny, gut-churning, playful, wicked, and warm, Tragedy Girls is one of the better horror-comedies in recent memory. - 75
Washington Post
The film’s young slashers are irredeemably smug and obnoxious, and their bloodthirsty craving for social media likes, represented by heart icons that float out of their cellphones after each murder that they document — without implicating themselves — fuels a vicious satire. - 70
Village Voice
If Scream and Heathers shacked up and had murderous, millennial offspring, it might look a lot like Tragedy Girls. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The movie’s central idea and bright young cast are so good that some of its shallowness is forgivable. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film's central theme, about where attention-starved narcissism leads when taken to extremes, isn't quite sufficient to sustain an entire feature. - 50
Austin Chronicle
It’s a ridiculous setup, but the action embraces the silliness for a sick, slick satire, as the girls get bloodier and more gruesomely creative to get their moment of fame. - 50
Movie Nation
Tragedy Girls is “Heathers” without the just desserts (virtually no one “deserves” his or her fate), “Mean Girls” who don’t truly turn on each other, a slasher satire without a punchline.
