Violet Reviews
indieWire
Kate Erbland
It's made all the more powerful by Munn's performance, which cuts through Bateman's occasionally fussy flourishes to deliver the most substantial work of her career.
Observer
Siddhant Adlakha
[Olivia] Munn's performance, and the film's eventual narrative trajectory, are incisive enough to get around its visual shortcomings.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
While the bumpy dramedy is a bit inside-baseball, Violet successfully shows how this professional's constant dialog with her inner critic (voice of Justin Theroux) cripples her.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Justine Bateman has been around this business for most of her life, so there's clearly a lot of truth in the story she's telling [in Violet]. If only she'd let it speak for itself.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Thanks in large part to Munn's elegant, authentic, grounded and moving performance, we're rooting hard for Violet to find some inner peace.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Utilizing such overt stylization of a high-concept approach, "Violet" is a bit of a one-trick pony. But Bateman, as well as Munn, manage to pull it off in a feature-length format, and Violet's eventual hard-earned redemption is deeply satisfying.
Reel Honest Reviews
Pamela Powell
Violet is a bold and relatable story that takes us on an evocative journey of one woman who represents us all in varying gradations.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's a very interesting film. Wonderfully well-made and complicated.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Violet reveals Bateman is a woman with both an extraordinarily precise vision, and the talent and good old-fashioned moxie to pull it off
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
The movie is built as a pastiche, with one visual or aural layer after another piling on until we can feel the visceral overwhelm of anxiety.
Brandon Judell (Medium)
Brandon Judell
Justine Bateman's fascinating directorial debut, Violet, packs the power of five years of therapy into its 92 minutes.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A fascinating idea that's frustratingly underdeveloped, "Violet" is a sometimes uncomfortable watch, its ambition stifled by gimmickry and its ominous tone an unfulfilled promise.
JMuvies
John Urbancich
First-time feature director Justine Bateman and smashing lead Olivia Munn give personal demons and the Hollywood men's club some hell in this creative display of all that is backstage angst.
Common Sense Media
Jordan Elizabeth
Director Justine Bateman's drama explores negative self-talk, which is a particularly important topic for young people as they develop their own self-image.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
[Bateman] draws naturalistic performances from Munn and a large supporting cast. But the story itself finally feels lost beneath the levels of artifice rather than heightened by it.
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
Bateman shows herself to be a filmmaker with a precise idea of what she wants to communicate and the vision to pull it off.
Thirty, Flirty + Film
Cate Young
Bateman carries Munn through the scenes with ease, and Violet feels like a person heavily burdened by her own fear.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The fact we can see/hear what Violet is thinking makes this an unusually effective illustration of how microaggressions really land, causing macro damage, despite the poker face she puts on for her peers.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's easy to appreciate the ambition of [Violet] even if I didn't quite believe everything about it.
The Playlist
Kristy Puchko
Violet feels less like a film than a pitch meeting. A frenzied flurry of ideas, devices, and character sketches chucked out to see what sticks.
