Collider
What is undeniable is its sense of vision, a fully realized work that marks Colbert as a director to watch in absolutely anything she takes on next. - 83
The A.V. Club
It’s the film’s mercurial nature, its hazy dreamlike logic, that makes it so extraordinary. - 80
The New York Times
Blending sensuous imagery with jabs of feminist wit — at one point, a vibrator is weaponized against a male intruder — Colbert sends her heroine on a transformative journey of revenge and renewal. - 80
Los Angeles Times
It’s sort of a supernatural thriller; but it’s more of a wry and strikingly poetic vision of feminist retribution. - 75
RogerEbert.com
She Will isn't exactly a horror movie. It has its creepy moments, particularly in the visual collages and Clint Mansell's unnerving score, but it's more thought-provoking than scary. - 75
The Film Stage
Both Krige and Eberhardt deliver subtly quiet performances within this atmospherically fragmented pursuit of vengeance, ultimately transforming into agents of change. - 67
The Playlist
With Krige as its anchor, She Will offers moments of true greatness – and a few pointed barbs at ageism and patriarchal history, too. But as the two sides of Ghent are thrust uneasily together, Colbert struggles to sustain the pulsing rhythm at the heart of the film. - 63
