More Critic Reviews for Alias Grace Miniseries All Critics (79) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (78) | Rotten (1) Through Sarah Polley's rhythmic writing and Mary Harron's moody visuals, Margaret Atwood's beautiful prose has been translated to moving poetry in this engrossing series. Nov 15, 2017 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma News.com.au Top Critic ... Alias Grace is discomfiting, compelling, deeply insightful television. Nov 13, 2017 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic [Sarah] Gadon's performance is remarkable and the direction of Mary Harron ("I Shot Andy Warhol") improves it further still: In tight focus, her eyes betray nothing, or rather betray no one. Nov 1, 2017 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic ...an electric six episodes driven by the pursuit of truth and a hell of a main character... Oct 31, 2017 | Full Review… Jessica Mansfield FILMINK (Australia) Top Critic The real attraction is the performances, particularly [Sarah] Gadon's. Oct 31, 2017 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic Alias Grace doesn't strike the zeitgeist in the way The Handmaid's Tale did; this is historical fiction rather than a dystopian alternative future. Oct 27, 2017 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic Sarah Polley's script makes for a thrilling domestic mystery. Oct 23, 2018 | Full Review… Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects It's ultimately a testament to the level of mystery surrounding Grace Marks and the murders for which she is imprisoned, a mystery that remains even today. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice It's a fantastic cast and is very well written... I was very intrigued right from the start. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List The series is a jewel: a harsh story, that of a life mistreated from birth by the mere fact of being a woman, treated with subtlety and elegance and always away from the ravenous stimulus of the most elementary morbid...

Harguindey El Pais (Spain) View All Critic Reviews (79) Audience Reviews for Alias Grace: Miniseries Haunting story with excellent performances. A great series to binge on during a stormy day. Lucinda L Loved it. Literary and artistic and I was never sure where it would lead. It made a powerful statement on women's roles in society. Elle P Chicks get a raw deal in the olden days. Chris C Really well done, great story Rochelle S Wonderful series with the saddest ending, but she's a servant so there wasn't a whole lot of hope from the start. I did so wish that the psychiatrist had freed her; he loved her so. The first half of the finale is confusing and appears to change the show's genre. The adolescent Grace should have been played by a different actor. It is a truth that we need to see. We also need to realize that... this wickedness is still inside of us. My only complaint is that there are only 6 episodes! Katie W Pretty good, but no payoff. Jayd S Alias Grace retains all the elements Worth of a successful Margaret Atwood's adaptation in a finely woven and engaging narrative - while also showcasing Sarah Gadon's as a promissing rising star.
