More Critic Reviews for Alias Grace Miniseries All Critics (80) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (79) | Rotten (1) ... Alias Grace is discomfiting, compelling, deeply insightful television. Nov 13, 2017 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 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 I suspect that every viewer will agree upon one particular verdict -- television, in adapting the novels of Margaret Atwood, now has a record of 2 for 2. Nov 5, 2017 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR 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 The series, whose duration invites to be devoured in one sitting, plays with the unreliable narrator to keep the viewer constantly alert and reconfiguring the puzzle of the story as presented by the protagonist. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 8, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) 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... [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 30, 2018 | Full Review… Ángel S. Harguindey El Pais (Spain) Although it may not have so much visual strength, there are some quite inspired moments that help 'Alias Grace' to be a jewel that deserves to be discovered. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 6, 2019 | Full Review… Albertini Espinof View All Critic Reviews (80) Audience Reviews for Alias Grace: Miniseries May 19, 2019 Haunting story with excellent performances. A great series to binge on during a stormy day. Lucinda L Dec 16, 2018 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 Dec 05, 2018 Chicks get a raw deal in the olden days. Chris C Oct 23, 2018 Really well done, great story Rochelle S Oct 20, 2018 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. Oct 08, 2018 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. Aug 22, 2018 It is a truth that we need to see. We also need to realize that... this wickedness is still inside of us. Jun 15, 2018 My only complaint is that there are only 6 episodes! Katie W Jun 10, 2018 Pretty good, but no payoff. Jayd S May 02, 2018 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.
