	Author	Review
United States	Andy Webster The New York Times	"The cast is remarkable (...) [Lucky McKee] maintains an artfully calibrated pace, investing a powerful parable with an abundance of closely observed details"	POS
United States	Rob Nelson Variety	"An exercise in extreme horror, albeit one as lacking in scares as it is devoid of wit, flair and thematic focus"	NEG
United States	Scott Tobias AV Club	"McKee’s wicked sense of humor helps make the film more palatable, though still not remotely for all tastes"	NEU
United States	Maggie Lee The Hollywood Reporter	"Film technique is more atrocious than the cruelty and gore sensationally depicted in this horror parable about human subjugation (...) The allegorical undertones are not developed intelligently enough"	NEG
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"'The Woman' isn’t successful, but it shouldn’t be discounted either, as this is a legitimately ambitious and promising American horror movie (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
