M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Leah Pickett Chicago Reader Francesca Eastwood takes after her father, Clint: she's magnetic and convincing as a vigilante, despite her character's implausibly quick switch from wallflower to assassin Sep 25, 2018 Full Review M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times Noelle is a millennial Dirty Harry, tackling the social problems that face this generation in a story that's outsized in nature but metaphorically pierces right at the heart of the matter. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (3) John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Less a pulse-pounding thriller than a conversation starter about injustice and vigilantism. Oct 14, 2017 Full Review M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Leo Brady AMovieGuy.com M.F.A. is not just a statement, but a rally cry for survivors, dropping the hammer on the audience with incredible force. The revenge genre has made a comeback and M.F.A. is the match that lit the fire. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 3, 2021 Full Review M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Leah McKendrick, who also wrote the screenplay in addition to portraying Skye, gives a devastating performance. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 15, 2020 Full Review M.F.A. | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The way the film goes at it is entertaining which keeps the viewer watching and engaged, thus creating a successful message film.

Stephen P light on special effects and surprises...but well-scripted, modern twist on an age-old problem, toxic masculinity, and a dedicated, searingly deep performance by the lead, actor Francesca Eastwood. More than a revenge fantasy, the film explores trust and its betrayal, and what we humans do to remain or regain our agency. An excellent anodyne to Marvel and Disney, definitely a film for adults, or those soon-to-be entering adulthood. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Steve A powerful and poignant story about the truths and tragedies behind college sexual assaults. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms Eastwood's characterization of victim turned vigilante. I think the slight smile she gives when captured by FOUR officers at gunpoint (truth in the overuse of power and authority, too bad they didn't apply the same energy to the rapists) tells the viewer she doesn't have one regret. Nor should she… Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Pierre L Killing the rapistit's cool !it's org*smic ! Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Jeremy S Unbelievable. In the bad way. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Actress is pretty awesome. So very odd looking that it makes her attractive somehow. It bothered me that she uses Eastwood as her last name, although she was married twice and Eastwood is not a relative nor was her maiden name. Other then that, she was really, really good in this movie. She has some nice knockers that they show a few times, so that helps too! Recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Much better than average revenge movie, especially since the hero want to effect revenge for others. Beautifully played by the cast. Spoiler coming up…One only hopes she gets off because it's his word against hers, no witnesses, etc. !
