Catch the Fair One

"A sincere, moderately effective revenge drama that might have been something more."

"A revenge-thriller, and a satisfying one, since the evil on display is so total. However, the satisfaction is hollow."

"Writer-director Josef Kubota Wladyka sets up Kaylee’s story with brisk, realistic dialogue and efficient visual storytelling..."

"The solemnity of the film is at odds with the gratuitousness of its violence."

"Catch the Fair One is activist filmmaking at its most compelling."

"Up until the end, Catch The Fair One is an absorbing thriller with strong characterisations."

"Wladyka has yet to develop the same eye for abstract trauma that he continues to showcase for situational despair..."

"It’s a propulsive watch but... finds more dead-ends than answers."

"By the time Kaylee’s odyssey ends, we’re left with abandoned threads of many good stories instead of one that satisfyingly coheres."

"Catch the Fair One ultimately disappoints more than it enlightens."
