The Handmaid's Tale - S3 • E12 Ratings & Reviews
AwardsWatch
Catherine Springer
The episode ends with a trademark closeup of June's eyes, looking up, daring the world to stand in her way.
Independent (UK)
Ed Power
After the dreary place-holder that was episode 12, the only way, surely, is up.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
This is another strong episode giving me hope that this show is reclaiming its former energy. One thing I've always loved about it, aside from being visually stunning and heart-wrenching, is the personal stories.
Tell-Tale TV
Jennifer Lind-Westbrook
June becomes increasingly ruthless when it comes to executing her plan.
Slashfilm
Caroline Cao
"Sacrifice"...steadies the viewer into absorbing a shock that contrives character conflict for June (Elisabeth Moss) while devaluing another character under the guise of something nebulously "thematic."

Serena, you sly little minx..I would've been very disappointed if you hadn't been the underhanded traitor that we've despised all along.

Fay Watson
Quick, go watch it! Did you not just see that Luke and Moira are back? This is not a drill!
Cosmopolitan
Emily Tannenbaum
"Sacrifice" is probably the most perfect title this episode of The Handmaid's Tale was ever going to get."
Entertainment Weekly
David Canfield
While June has certainly gone down a dark path this season, it's safe to call this the point of no return.
Inverse
Mae Abdulbaki
Though she's definitely more in control of things than in previous seasons, June's drastic actions exemplify the dire situation within Gilead.
Vox
Emily VanDerWerff
Even if I don't particularly care for all of the characters telling June what a hero she is, it's worth it for the way director Deniz Gamze Ergüven (she's back!) orients her camera...
Refinery29
Elena Nicolaou
Isn't it funny how the five or six main characters in The Handmaid's Tale also happen to be the five or six people responsible for determining the fate of Gilead?...How convenient for a TV show, and how far from real life.
Refinery29
Ariana Romero
It appears the latest Gilead tragedy has put June's master plan in jeopardy when she thought she was saving it...June may think she's winning her Gilead battles, but could she lose the war?
AV Club
Liz Shannon Miller
Like most penultimate episodes of a season, it proves mostly devoted to set-up for the finale; necessary at this stage, but meaning that there's a large chance most of the most important questions raised by "Sacrifice" will get answered next week.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Hillary Kelly
June may be on the verge of heroics, but are they worth the cost?
Forbes
Erik Kain
"Sacrifice" takes our heroine-or anti-heroine-to another level.
