More Critic Reviews for The Cry Season 1 All Critics (18) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (4) It's horribly manipulative and stagey, and Jenna Coleman is woefully miscast. Oct 3, 2018 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic Whether the rest of the drama, quite matches up to the intensity of this provocative proposition is moot. Oct 1, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Coleman's Joanna is alternately grieving or glassy-eyed and then yet utterly poised as a woman finding her peace - or winning retribution. She is matched by Leslie, who mines humanity in a selfish man. Nov 9, 2018 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald The first episode is a packed 55 minutes, which bodes well for the rest of the miniseries. Nov 9, 2018 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider If you're able to stomach a nightmare scenario that not even the blazing Australian sunshine can brighten, there is a compelling commentary on the perils of parenting at the dark heart of The Cry. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review… Chloe Schama Vogue The versatile Jenna Coleman (Victoria, Doctor Who) is quite moving, and unnervingly enigmatic, in a four-part BBC drama. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider It's a beautifully shaped and rendered drama that evocatively explores the events that have brought Joanna to court in that red dress. Jan 29, 2019 | Full Review… Debi Enker The Age (Australia) Top Critic The Cry is an intelligent psychological thriller that will focus and refocus your suspicions and loyalties, all the while evocatively demonstrating the shifting power dynamics. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review… Amy Glynn Paste Magazine The final installment took a big risk in being so slow, but all the storytelling effort paid off in a piece that called to mind one of those Hollywood melodramas where the dames had the last word. Oct 29, 2018 | Full Review… Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) This is not a story that stands up to close scrutiny, but what seemed to be yet another abducted-child drama with Madeleine McCann undertones has, eventually, turned into a richer mystery altogether.
