Heche and Oh are both outright brilliant. Read full review

The two leads are mesmerizing, hurling themselves into their physically demented roles with ferocious commitment. Read full review

Tukel takes a big risk in Catfight: using farcical means to weave together personal and political tragedies, so that each dimension feeds the other. The rough edges and occasional clunks are a small price to pay. Read full review

Oh is fantastic as the earnest socialite who appears to have never lifted a finger towards work her entire life, but she’s also superb at the contriteness necessary to believe in a rebirth. Heche revels in playing a narcissistic taskmaster. Read full review

Empire David Parkinson

Played with committed ferocity by the excellent Oh and Heche, this riotous state-of-the-nation satire may lack subtlety, but it has the courage of its socko convictions and certainly packs a punch. Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

Sep 16, 2016

This odd, nasty yet rather funny little film tears apart ideas of sisterhood and female friendship and replaces them with burning hate and gratuitous violence. Read full review

Onur Tukel attempts to connect Ashley and Veronica’s barbarity to the broader callousness of American life, but the satire is too blunt to really stick. Read full review

The movie is a success in that it definitely achieves what it sets out to. It's engaging, sometimes funny, sometimes shocking.

It's engaging, sometimes funny, sometimes shocking. Both actress' performances are convincing enough that you find yourself drawn into their characters' worlds and can't help but root for both of them despite their obvious flaws and stubborn animosity towards one another. But the real kick comes at the end when you step back and it sinks in that the whole time, the feelings you experienced weren't solely representative of an attachment to these characters but to the people and parties that they so clearly personify. It then makes sense why the entire film feels somewhat familiar and intimate. It's the mark of successful allegory that you already somehow know how this story goes.… Expand

Sandra Oh is from Toronto like me so I gotta give her kudos for THAT! Wuuuhahahahaa! Anne Heche of course, is the ultimate scary lesbian, so kudos to her too. It was entertaining enough and mildly funny.

While it sometimes borders on the ridiculous, the intensity and dedication that Oh and Heche bring to their roles makes this an entertaining satire on Western culture and an interesting look at how we treat one another.

MEH. It's barely funny enough to keep watching. It could have been so much better in so many ways, but it's all so loose and poorly timed that it never really comes together. I'm usually a fan of Sandra Oh, but not in this case.

This nasty yet funny movie gets by just on the performance of it's leads, particularly Sandra Oh.
