Pixie Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
July 14, 2025
My quick rating - 6.1/10. This was a pretty damn funny grifting flick. The whole setup is part of the fun and wouldn't do it justice without throwing spoilers in. So I'll dummy it down to Pixie (Olivia Cooke) masterminds a heist all to avenge the death of her mother. I enjoy it when a script is carefully crafted in such a way that everything that happens affects the story further. Again, I am saying shit without telling you a damn thing on purpose. Suffice it to say, the whole grift is concocted quite well to a satisfying end. The cast itself does a good job portraying some shady and amusing characters. It has a nice Tarantino-lite feel to it on a far lesser budget. And I can't say enough about how great Olivia Cooke plays her part. Definitely an unknown gem to come out of last year. If you are interested in gangster flicks that throw a double cross, and then a few more, this one is right up your alley.

Some gorgeous Irish scenery along with stunning (sometimes violent) plot twists and snappy one-liners (and some gorgeous scenery) make "Pixie" a quirky winner, ideal for the weekend while knocking back a Guinness.

I haven't laughed this hard at some much senseless violence and murder since Fargo.

A decent, gory Irish comedy. It's like a diet-Martin McDonagh.

Olivia Cooke is reason enough to watch Pixie. If you've yet to be mesmerized by her acting chops, here's your chance...
Decider
John Serba
It's twisty and funny, the plot wrapping around itself without getting lost in its own contrived circumlocutions.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
Olivia Cooke's work here is just about perfect and gives the film a ton of charm even though it's a revenge film.

Sara Michelle Fetters
Cooke is the driving force propelling the juvenile Irish crime comedy Pixie to success, her transformation into pipsqueak firebrand Pixie O'Brien masterful.
KOMO News (Seattle)
Candice McMillan
There is certainly something quite charming about [Pixie] ... But it is a novice whack at a story that could use help in highlighting its subtleties and cleaning its message.

Matt Zoller Seitz
Pixie feels as if it arrived via time-warp from about 1998, most likely on a VHS cassette with a 'CLEARANCE' sticker on the slipcase.

Peter Sobczynski
Unless you are either an Olivia Cooke completist or a collector of bad big screen accents, there is nothing of note to see here.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Too often relegating its title character to the background, this Irish crime thriller seems cobbled together with genre tropes from other Tarantino knockoffs.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
A rather wan take on formulas better handled elsewhere... neither as clever as it thinks nor as engaging as it should be.
Screen Rant
Mae Abdulbaki
The film is bolstered by the strength of Cooke's magnetic performance and is energetically entertaining, heartbreakingly sad, and darkly humorous.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Goes beyond homage or aspirational imitation, into the realm of pale, shameless mimicry.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
Pixie is a movie for fans of crime and action movies who will enjoy the comic elements as a change of pace.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[I]t comes across more like an exercise in superficial style and attitude than anything else.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
"Pixie" isn't exactly magical, but amusing enough whenever Cooke's character casts her spell.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
British director Barnaby Thompson's coolly comedic "Pixie" may not be the most original in concept in the world but the winning execution makes up for it. And, yes, there really are deadly gangster priests.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Strauss
The film simply wouldn't be much... without Cooke's quick-witted performance. She's formidable and disarming at the same time, all the time.
