Dragonfly Ratings & Reviews
Loud and Clear Reviews
Clotilde Chinnici
Overall, Dragonfly is an exciting and original film that audiences should ideally know very little about before walking in, in order to properly enjoy it.
Movies We Texted About
Sarah Manvel
Dragonfly would have been a much better movie if the potential horror wasn't so loudly telegraphed, and the two central performances are so strong that it's worth seeing regardless.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
It's undeniably nervy, keeping up Williams' streak of choosing the far riskier and more interesting path in the stories he tells.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Is this tonal swerve a little gimmicky? Probably, and the film will not be to everyone's taste. But it is a skillfully rendered exercise in terror.
The Film Stage
John Fink
Williams and his brilliant cast create a film that is equal-parts tender and shocking, turning horror tropes on their head.
The Contending
Frank J. Avella
...a wonderful showcase for two Oscar nominees, who are both stellar...also a scalding, heartbreaking look at elder care and how we seem to simply discard people once they reach a certain age as well as an honest portrait of the importance of connection.
Pajiba
Jason Adams
Executed by two wondrous performers, Dragonfly is the black hole of modern living opening up beside your morning cuppa.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
Dragonfly doesn't have an answer to the social crisis, but it does show an extreme of what happens when we try to fix problems by ignoring the reality of the situation.
AWFJ.org
Beth Accomando
Paul Andrew Williams' Dragonfly is a showcase for actresses Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough.. It is a film that does not announce its intentions. In fact it continually defies both expectations and categorization, as do its characters.
Next Best Picture
Sara Clements
The tonal shift and events in the third act are quite unbearable to sit through.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
What begins as a slow-burning and tender drama with shades of Mike Leigh turns into a dark and gripping Hitchcockian thriller. Brenda Blethyn and Andrea Riseborough give powerful and Oscar-worthy performances that ground the film in raw authenticity.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Andrea Riseborough is just so good at this, bringing the A-game she brought to 2022's To Leslie, but this time with a more jarring child-like innocence.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Dragonfly isn't just a 'slow burn' psychological drama. This well-acted movie about two lonely people and home caregiving takes an extreme turn in the last 20 minutes to a shocking ending that's sure to be divisive.
