- 85SlashfilmRafael MotamayorSlashfilmRafael MotamayorA kitchen sink drama, a pulpy crime movie, and a bloody revenge tale all held together by one hell of a performance.
- 80Film ThreatLorry KiktaFilm ThreatLorry KiktaA Good Woman Is Hard To Find is an extremely harrowing, tense movie that has such an unbelievably satisfying payoff.
- Mixing Ken Loach-style social realism with Mike Hodge’s grasp of stylish murder, much in the vein of 2012’s equally razor-balanced sniper shocker Tower Block, you’ll be cheering for this good woman when she faces the inevitable showdown.
- 70The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhile the movie barrels toward a final act that’s more feminist fantasy than credible conclusion, Bolger’s phenomenal performance locks us tightly on Sarah’s side.

- 50RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyI cannot lie, though. As cranky as much of the movie made me, Pastoll, Blaney, and especially Bolger all contrive to deliver as satisfying a climax and dénouement to this saga as one could hope for. So there is that.
