Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - Jon Frosch
The film boasts enough manic energy and straight-up weirdness to keep you entertained before overstaying its welcome in the final act.

Variety - Justin Chang
Given the sheer number of threads that Moorhouse (who adapted the novel with her writer-director husband, P.J. Hogan) keeps in play, it’s surprising how well The Dressmaker coheres, albeit more along narrative lines than tonal ones.
60
Empire - Anna Smith
It’s still a giggle, largely thanks to Tilly’s cantankerous mother (Judy Davis) and the camp local cop (Hugo Weaving).
50
Hitfix - Gregory Ellwood
Its admittedly interesting source material, but the movie’s tone is all over the place and not in a good way.
50
The Playlist - Kevin Jagernauth
That The Dressmaker remains watchable in any sense is thanks in large part to a cast who give the material that’s way beneath them far better treatment than it deserves.
