The Dissolve

It's so relentlessly upbeat and deliberately artificial that it admits no cynicism or judgment, and it makes the film daringly weird.

Rated: 3.5

The earnestness brings the movie from mildly irritating pastiche status to actively awful, and that is all she wrote.

Rated: 1/4

May we be excused, "Miss Meadows"?

Tonally awkward and a bit too underwhelming to fully succeed as the black comedy cum violent thriller character study it is trying to be.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's a shame the odd-for-oddball's sake of a plot had to overshadow Holmes' charming performance, for this could've been the role that kicked her relatively safe career into gear.

Miss Meadows is an interesting character study of someone just trying to make the world a better place through murder, and questioning whether her methods may actually be the cause of the world's decay.

Thought the movie brought to life the horrors of this world. Definitely a relatable character.

A social media reel of the "Miss Meadows" character piqued my interest and led me to the full film. I don't typically leave reviews but want to express gratitude for this one. I'm also grateful for Katie Holmes. Looking back on her career, there's a theme in the roles she accepts and I'm here for it. They're roles that subvert and challenge cultural biases related to gender norms and expectations. For this she/her viewer, who is nauseated by violence and cultural attitudes toward women and children, "Miss Meadows" was a show of force. Some feeling-sensation, the opposite of collapse, gradually grew. I noticed myself correcting my posture, sitting up straighter. I appreciated the messages [I received] — that we can grow from trauma, and we can outgrow it, that kindness and compassion have a hard edge, and that being a human in the world eventually comes with the discomfort of ethical dillemmas and dissonance (because personal morals, values, and the systems we exist within, do not always align). The heroes in this film believe in protecting the idea of safety while simultaneously accepting that complete safety is an illusion. The illusion of safety in the 1950s is a cultural lie, that somehow persists for many... similar to the lie that women are weak, incompetent, "crazy," unjust, ineffective (especially when they have a strong sense of self). More please! To-da-loo.

I actually really liked this movie. It was kind of weird but still pretty enjoyable. And Katie Holmes played her part so well. Definitely recommended!

It's supposed to be over the top, but most of the film is boring. It lacks the punch of John Water's Serial Mom.

Quirky, demented, sweet, and sad. Has an oddly satisfying ending - I thought it was a very provocative film.
