	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Quietly mesmerizing adaptation of her [Margaret Atwood's] 1996 novel."	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"The hook may be a murder, but it's more interestingly examined as a story about storytelling and for the contributions of Polley, Harron and Gadon."	POS
Canada	John Doyle The Globe and Mail	"An ambitious, almost brilliant Margaret Atwood adaptation (...) It becomes visually inert when imaginative vigour and freshness of expression are called for."	NEU
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"A remarkably faithful adaptation that brings to life the protagonist’s rich complexity"	POS
United States	Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"Gadon is superb (...) The deeper you get into the series, the more her performance seems almost hypnotic."	POS
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"Engrossing (...) It's so heavy throughout the first installment, you might wish for at least one of the characters to open a parlor window and let in some air, but as the story progresses it becomes too engrossing to turn away."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[Sarah] Gadon gives a fascinating riddle of a performance."	POS
