Critics' reviews

"[A] mind-blowing feature debut (...) [A] brilliant 'Get Out'-style social thriller"

Peter Debruge: Variety
"[It] trips on its own wild twists (...) An artful and provocative movie about the enduring horror of America's original sin, 'Antebellum' can't follow through on its own concept"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"'Antebellum' is easily 2020’s worst movie so far (...) The exploitative, shallow horror movie wastes Janelle Monáe on a role that limits her voice"

Robert Daniels: Polygon
"What makes the new psychological thriller 'Antebellum' effective, however, is not just studying the past of America’s original sin but deftly showing how it still paints our present day (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Brian Truitt: USA Today
"Janelle Monáe delivers a bold performance in an otherwise jumbled thriller"

Chris Evangelista: SlashFilm
"It's the lessons of history we still haven't learned that give 'Antebellum' its bruised grit and gravity (...) 'Antebellum' means to call out a divided country on intolerance, past and present"

Peter Travers: ABC News
"A simplistic critique that never grapples with the broken systems that harm Black people."

Matt Goldberg: Collider
