Hanna Reviews
Hanna shows some promise, particularly in Ronan’s versatile performance, but between the overwrought style and underdeveloped script, there’s plenty for Wright to workshop...
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 8, 2024
There may not be as much grand meaning or deeply affecting substance when compared to his previous works, but Wright and company have created an exciting story, richly told with copious amounts of style.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 31, 2023
The plot is preposterous, but Joe Wright, the director, gives the movie enough audacious drive and style for the story to skim over the holes in the narrative logic.

Hanna doesn't bore for a single moment, although it's unintelligible for most minutes. [Full review in Spanish]

“Hanna” is a fun and stylish movie as well as a showcase for young Saoirse Ronan.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2022
The 'perfectly engineered soldier' theme is nothing new, but Wright is less concerned about that. Hanna is a beautifully crafted, smart, funny film that floats above its genre conventions.

Perhaps Hanna is a good film because the action is part of the narrative rather than the narrative being a part of the action.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 2, 2021
Even though there are misogynistic undercurrents to the fatal gunshot wound Hanna delivers... Weigler will never die because she lives on in Hanna, and her story will be retold and revised just like the fables women and girls pass on to one another.

Tries so hard to be edgy and different that desperation trumps the minor intrigue brought about by bizarre characters and situations.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Never quite gels into a cohesive cinematic experience and is, far too often, simply boring.
| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020
We walk out of it with more questions than anything else, which can sometimes be a film's strength ... but that's not the case here.
| Original Score: C | Aug 10, 2020
Ostensibly a thriller about a teenage assassin, Hanna reveals itself to be a fairytale with a modern twist.
| Original Score: B | Aug 10, 2020
A unique, often strange take on both an action film and a growing-up story
| Original Score: B | Jul 12, 2020
Explosive, intense, heart pounding, riveting, pulsating...and these are just a few of the adjectives to describe Hanna.

It's one hell of a letdown.
| Original Score: 2.9/5 | Nov 6, 2019
A sleek, willfully preposterous action movie...This is a rare action movie where women rule.

The deeper the story gets, the more convoluted and preposterous it becomes. Still, "Hanna" is a lot of fun, thanks to Ronan and two great action sequences.

The thing with Joe Wright's beautifully shot movie is that it never really feels true.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 2, 2019
Overall, Saoirse Ronan is a marvelous, powerful actress and Hanna is a great character. Perhaps a sequel to the film Hanna will have a script worthier of both.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 16, 2019
Hanna is a pulse-pounding, lethal fairy-tale actioner.
