Krisha Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Krisha" is a stone cold stunner.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
From the first scene of "Krisha," writer and director Trey Edward Shults puts us off balance, and for the next 83 minutes keeps us that way, almost daring us to look away.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Fairchild's performance is key to the movie: Krisha is witty and chatty one moment, shut down like a deserted fairground the next. We see dazzling warmth in her eyes but also the terror of total system failure.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Krisha may go on a little longer than you'd want, but then, its title character is the kind of houseguest who stays longer than you'd want her to - so even the postscript confrontations and apologies feel right.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
At times you laugh in horror. At other times you shrink from the screen. There are truths here.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Krisha is an exceptionally well done slow burn that ushers a striking new talent onto the film scene.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The director allows us to inhabit not just Krisha's pill-induced zone-out but also her acute distress and, yes, guilt over her past behavior. It's slightly fussy, in-your-face filmmaking, but it's viscerally effective.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Krisha" is obviously personal for Shults, but there's a limit to that fact. The film's technique transcends the merely personal.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
This haunting drama finds new and explosive life in a familiar premise -- a black sheep's return to the family fold for Thanksgiving dinner.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
For all its strengths, "Krisha" can also be self-indulgent and artificial.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Shults coaxes strong performances from everyone, especially Fairchild, who inhabits Krisha with the force of a tornado.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Krisha is many things: a nightmare, a cry for help, a cringe-comedy with sobbing instead of a laugh track, a cracked family portrait, an apology and a valentine.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Shults is a penetrating observer, and hints at many old wounds that will be lanced in the course of a tight 83 minutes.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Shults builds a creeping sense of dread with the same anxious naturalism that the late indie auteur John Cassavetes brought to such films as A Woman Under the Influence.
TheWrap
Tricia Olszewski
An explosive, stomach-knotting debut.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
The film feels like a blazing catharsis for all involved.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
There is hell to come in Krisha, but the artist stands back from the anger - and forgives.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
A coiled masterpiece of subjective filmmaking, writer-director Trey Edward Shults' "Krisha" is, in the well-worn genre of ruined family holidays, something of an indie gauntlet thrown down.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Few movies bore into a character's head as deeply as "Krisha," and with such uncompromising ferocity.
NPR
Ella Taylor
This is well-worn territory, but in the right hands the primal family drama bears infinite repeating.
