	Author	Review
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"A thrilling zombie movie with Brains (...) M.R. Carey's post-apocalyptic novel comes to vivid life in Colm McCarthy's elegant adaptation"	POS
United Kingdom	Charles Gant Screendaily	"A smartly compelling (...) What really separates 'The Girl With All the Gifts' from the genre pack is its moral intelligence, clever thematic consistency and emotional heft"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Another tired attempt to board the zombie bandwagon"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'The Girl With All the Gifts' doesn’t really venture into new territory, but it does a decent job of reminding us why zombies are so scary, and so interesting."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"[A] rather dreary cinematic adaptation of Mike Carey’s eponymous novel."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mark Kermode The Guardian	"[It] is exactly the kind of genre picture the UK should be making: provocative, imaginative and unafraid to sink its teeth into complex and challenging material (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Just when you thought the zombie genre was out of ideas, along comes Colm McCarthy’s smart and engaging 'The Girl with All the Gifts' (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"[McCarthy serves] it up with palatable tension, if not exactly a brimming visual stylishness or character-driven urgency"	NEU
