What to Know

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.

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 Hitchco*ckian tale, with a late-story development that’s bat-bleep crazy but also gripping.

Rated: 3/4

Nestor Cine Desde Hollywood

Like its title character, the film suffers an identity crisis, stagnating too much in the contemplative indecision between being a family drama, a work romance, or a passionate thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]

Ben Turner

The Pink Lens

A dreary yet dramatic film that doesn’t quite live up to its potential, it suffers from being annoyingly uneven, with a titular character that we care very little for.

Rated: 3/5

Rated 2/5 Stars • 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 4/5 Stars • 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.
