Critics Consensus

Carried by Kiersey Clemons' performance, Sweetheart balances smart subtext and social commentary against effective genre thrills.

Todd Gilchrist

TheWrap

Not only fully delivers the conventions of genre and storytelling that audiences expect from the film's premise, but it also elevates and refines them to a sharp point.

IndieWire

A lean creature feature that could have used just a little extra meat on its bones.

Variety

Not quite original or stylish enough to be memorable.

Ian Bunting

Daily Record (UK)

Dillard and co-writers Alex Hyner and Alex Theurer’s script cleverly turns expected tropes on their head and refuses to burden Jenn with the type of dumb decision making to inflict many a horror heroine.

The film itself could've used more of an edge. Because once you carve out the lead performance and the central theme, Sweetheart is just your run-of-the-mill-sole-survivor-stranded-on-a-deserted-island-fending-off-a-carnivorous-aquatic-monster movie.

Rated: B-

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

In many ways, Sweetheart is a very simple but effective story; a gorgeously shot creature-feature-survival-horror that does a lot with a little, elevates the genre, while also building sustainable tension around a terrific lead.

The interpersonal drama muddies the water, so to speak, in this otherwise well-shot and suspenseful creature feature.

What a rubbish B grade movie. Acting poor, plot boring, monster completely pathetic. Someone has paid these “expert critics” to boost this nonsense.

There's not enough alcohol on earth to convince me this is a good film. RT got this way, way wrong. Each character must be horribly stupid to move the plot forward. The best part of the film were sans dialogue. Freaking awful.
