Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Lynskey and Winslet are extraordinary actresses.
– Owen Gleiberman,
Entertainment Weekly,
7 Sep 2011
fresh:
Combines original vision, a drop-dead command of the medium and a successful marriage between a dazzling, kinetic techno-show and a complex, credible portrait of the out-of-control relationship between the crime's two schoolgirl perpetrators.
– David Rooney,

fresh:
Unlike the campy excess of Jackson's earlier Dead Alive, deliberate overkill ltimately points toward a dearth of ideas rather than a surfeit.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Acted with conviction, and directed and written with febrile vibrancy.

fresh:
Stylish and eerily compelling before it overplays its campy excesses, Heavenly Creatures does have a feverish intensity to recommend it.
