Critic Reviews for Rid of Me

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (8)

This hectoring visual style becomes particularly irritating in combination with his rigid social stereotyping.

O'Grady is very good, but she can't make the hard-to-watch Rid of Me dramatically credible.

New York Post
Top Critic

Unconvincing tale of self-empowerment has attitude and anxiety but nothing underneath.

Hollywood Reporter
Top Critic

Westby's nervy story is like "Desperately Seeking Susan" played straight. Let's hope O'Grady's next film meets this one's potential.

Comes at you like a horror movie before settling down into something quieter but equally skin crawling.

Think of it as a coming-of-age story ten years too late.
