This adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel is not a story of repression, but something more prickly, more envious, and more dangerous.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

Uneven but revealing...

| Sep 16, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2024

Eileen invites a deep reflection on the human condition, particularly in terms of dysfunctionality and family trauma. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 18, 2024

While not all of Oldroyd's decisions are convincing... Eileen never ceases to be a disturbing, audacious, uncomfortable, and in several ways, a provocative film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Eileen succeeds as a mood piece. It has a strange twist that doesn't land quite as cleanly as the filmmakers hoped it would.

| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2024

Eileen carries a timeless tale of womanhood, suppression, and resentment told through the lenses of 1960s America.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 3, 2024

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]

| Jun 16, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2024

Maturation dressed in noir, rebellion against patriarchy, in-your-face and unapologetic, Les Diaboliques with a broken heart. [Full review in Spanish]

| May 23, 2024

Could use a little less restraint, like a groove that missed the entrance for a solo.

| Original Score: C | May 20, 2024

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

| May 10, 2024

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2024

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.

| Apr 26, 2024

Anne Hathaway crackles as a psychotic Hitchcockian blonde in this demure, increasingly bizarre psychological melodrama.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2024

A film that becomes something of a twisted delight, especially when an ingenious third-act rug-pull nudges the film into far darker territory.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 29, 2024

Thomasin McKenzie as Eileen steals the show in this gorgeous film about the agony of growing up lonely and isolated in a parochial small American town.

| Feb 23, 2024

Featuring a scene stealing turn from Marin Ireland, this adaptation of Ottessa Moshfegh's book isn't afraid to revel in the messy, grossness of women. And it's all the better for it. Sexy, chilly and confronting, Eileen is a winner

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2024

The majority of the film is rock-solid, but the final scenes are so illogical, so ill-advised, and so ill-informed that they leave an awful taste in the mouth, an awful stench in the nostrils, and an awful pounding in the head.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 17, 2024

Where we ultimately end up is a little more muddled than it ought to be, and a little less unnerving than it wants to be. Still, Oldroyd controls the movie’s darkness with the slightest wisp of a mischievous smile...
