	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A small-scale but elegantly deft squirmfest that features a luminous performance by Salma Hayek"	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"Although this may contain the best performance of Hayek’s career (...) it’s still a flawed work, too broad and scattershot to skewer its deserving targets with the precision necessary for the task."	NEG
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"'Beatriz at Dinner' is a bit of a bummer. But there’s still something cathartic about it"	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"White’s script is well crafted as a grim chamber piece, but it falls short of developing its central tension beyond its initial implications."	NEU
United Kingdom	Anthony Kaufman Screendaily	"Miguel Arteta y Mike White (...) confirm their talent for social commentary and incisive wit"	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[It] gets some fascinating, acute moments (...) 'Beatriz at Dinner' boasts an extremely compelling performance from Hayek, one of the best in her career."	POS
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"Arteta and screenwriter Mike White find nuance in the conflict (...) This might be the best performance Salma Hayek has ever given"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"Miguel Arteta, and the screenwriter, Mike White (...) have a proven knack for making their characters and audiences squirm (...) Wittily framing Beatriz in ways that bring Japanese horror films to mind."	POS
