Everything about this bomb is inexplicably odd, from the plot to the camerawork to the fact that there is no credit for screenplay—maybe if you see it, you’ll know why. Go to Full Review Michael Nordine Variety 03/19/2022
That it stars an Oscar winner only makes the whole thing stranger — viewers are likely to spend more time wondering how she came to be involved in such a shoestring production than sympathizing with her character. Go to Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal 03/18/2022
Measure of Revenge moves with too much trepidation -- or too much style, one might say -- for a convincing urban thriller. Director Peyfa’s oblique approach to the narrative leads one astray. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 04/09/2022
Measure of Revenge is such an atrocious dud, no one wants to be listed as the movie's screenwriter. It's a heinous story about a Broadway actress who becomes a murderous vigilante. Go to Full Review Alex Saveliev Film Threat 04/06/2022
3/10
The plot lurches from one awkwardly-staged, heavy-handed, poorly-lit, bathed in eye-scorching soft-focus sequence to another with little regard for tonal shifts or narrative fluidity. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 03/25/2022
Leo’s up to it, even if the film isn’t up to her. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Karen K @RT00688923 11/06/2023 It looks like it was poorly directed. While the story should have been good, everything was just a bit off. See more Timur B @RT27864847 02/20/2023 Phenomenal performance by Melissa Leo! See more 03/22/2022 Melissa Leo's performance is powerful and incredible. I love seeing a story like this told from a female's perspective, a mother nonetheless. It's original, erudite and compelling. Love the way theater mixes and adds to the story and overall concept. The music is beautiful. Bravo to all involved in this film. See more 03/20/2022 Very unusual and unique story, and Melissa is phenomenal in this mystery drama! See more Read all reviews
