	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Jocelyn Moorhouse returns from a long absence from the director's chair with this appreciably deranged small-town revenge fable"	NEU
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Little here 'works' in any traditional sense of that word, but the film boasts enough manic energy and straight-up weirdness to keep you entertained"	NEU
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A tonally uneven, genre-shifting hurricane of a thing, wildly careering off the rails and smashing into everything in its view (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"[An] absurdly overripe melodrama. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Kevin Jagernauth IndieWire	"That 'The Dressmaker' remains watchable in any sense is thanks in large part to a cast who give the material that’s way beneath them far better treatment than it deserves"	NEU
