Critics Consensus

Led by Olivia Wilde's fearless performance and elevated by timely themes, A Vigilante is an uncompromising thriller that hits as hard as its protagonist.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

The film doesn't work without this character's pain, and Wilde absolutely sells it, a spectacular performance.

4/5

[A] patient, nuanced film-making that showcases, in Wilde, a muscular and increasingly versatile screen talent.

3/5

It's a tough, tense movie with a couple of bone-snappingly violent moments, but critically it dials down the exploitation.

3/5

A powerful debut feature with a commanding performance from Olivia Wilde that will hopefully see them both lean more into genre films in future projects.

Wilde is fine, but the film never scores its punches as it keeps packing more and more on...

I’d rather watch paint dry! Horrible movie. Boring from start to finish. Unrealistic chain of events. A woman who is weak overpowers everyone and even kills a much stronger man with her 2 fingers. She whines and cries throughout the movie making you root for others to kill her to end the viewers misery. How this got rated 90 percent Is absurd… that’s like the rigged election of 2020. Don’t torture yourself hoping for something worth watching.. it won’t happen!

At least 'The Brave One' had enough momentum to keep me awake, this dreck is like a sleeping tablet.

I thought this movie had potential in the beggining. Although i found it to be incredibly slow movie and lack of a plot. Overall the movie dragged out and found it quite boring. It definitely highlighted domestic violence well, although i just found it not entertaining.

One of the most ridiculous, disappointing grand finale scenes of any movie I have seen.

Frustratingly slow paced. Not much vigilantism for a so called vigilante movie. Take out the close-ups of Olivia Wilde emoting and there's like 30 minutes of movie.

It's hard to understand why Olivia Wilde and/or the film didn't get any nominations (that I'm aware of). Female vengeance is a whole genre, of course; women assassins, hit-women, spies etc. But forget the Hollywood-ization with this one. It's raw and immediate. No CGI, just raw emotion and dramatic delivery shot in the Dogma style. It feels often much more like a documentary, it's so real. MEN: watch this one and you just..might..get..an..inkling into a woman's perspective on domestic violence. The support group sessions will rip you apart. Damned good movie.
