Roger Ebert
Pearl gets a little too close to letting you simply laugh at her. We know she wouldn’t like that.

The Verge
Pearl works as a standalone horror movie; the contrast between The Wizard of Oz vibe and the lurking dread builds a wonderful kind of tension and makes the moments of bloodshed hit that much harder.

Variety
In 'X,' Mia Goth played both the 'final girl', Maxine, and the jealous crone who tried to kill her. Now, 'Pearl' gives us the backstory of the homicidal villain in a sumptuous 1918 setting.

Entertainment Weekly
In 'Pearl,' Mia Goth performs the tasks that might fall to any farm girl living in 1918 with a husband away fighting the Great War.

Polygon
The primary reason to see Pearl is Mia Goth’s mesmerizing, tour-de-force performance.

The Independent
West’s film is, in short, a masterclass in finding sympathy for the devil. The credits close on Pearl as its hero grins manically, staring unblinkingly into the camera for several, unbroken minutes.

IMDb
What an unexpected, enjoyable movie this is, a good mix of horror and drama, with a pretty great story mixed in.

Rotten Tomatoes
West and Goth beautifully translate the chilling dichotomy between good and evil with several allusions to The Wizard of Oz.
