Newsday

Finding the right ending remains one of the most difficult and persistent challenges in telling a story, so filmmakers deserve some latitude in carving one out, but they rarely miss this badly.

Rated: 2.5/4

Eileen is triumphant, a rousing directorial success from Oldroyd.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

It feels like we’re watching a Todd Haynes film as filtered through the lens of a Hitchcockian tale, with a late-story development that’s bat-bleep crazy but also gripping.

Rated: 3/4

In Their Own League

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.

Rated: 3/5

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]

Michael Cox

EILEEN's at its best is when it shifts genres to become a sensual thriller. Thomasin McKenzie continues to shine, Anne Hathaway fascinates as she beats around the bush of her true intentions and Marin Ireland has an excellent single scene performance. Very abrupt about things tho

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Amazing. Compelling and unique with great acting. Not for young children and may trigger people so if you have issues read more about it first. One of the best films I have seen in a long time.
