Critics Consensus

A bold and memorable debut that thrusts Zoë Kravitz into the turf of directors to watch, Blink Twice is a live wire of a film.

Kravitz has style and good timing, and Ackie is fantastic in the lead, capable of conveying both “cool girl” and absolute eye-bolting horror.

Rated: 3/5

It has style all over the place... It's well-executed.

Time Out

It’s a film about the abuses of power, the dangers of being a woman in a man’s world and the importance of female solidarity, but is never didactic, just gripping. In short, Blink Twice is both brainfood and a blast.

Rated: 4/5

While everything doesn’t fully connect by the time the credits hit, the attempt is one to admire, as Kravitz creates a fantastic product from a technical standpoint.

This movie was different and it kept me trying to figure out what was wrong. The last scene of the film threw me off and I wished I could have watched again to better understand what happened. I'd recommend it, but think the trigger warning should be advertised so that anyone who's been assaulted before has the option to not attend before paying. Good job Zoe and Channing.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It was a little much, and kind of strange. I have recommended it to a few people to watch it but its definitely not a movie to be highly recommended to just anyone. Kind of disappointed Channing Tatum made a weird movie like this.

Waited a while to see this because of the trigger warning, but it didnt get too explicit with showing things on-screen which I was relieved by. I think performances here and directing style were strong and engaging, s/o to Zoe on a solid debut. The messaging was high level as well, although the story itself seemed a bit too obvious and forthright. This was way too easy to piece together, way too early, and tried to give us this feeling of burying the lead while putting it right before our eyes the entire time really. Still, its a good film and strong as a first time directing effort, and its a story that Im glad got told over anything else

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
