Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The kind of movie where you walk in, watch the first 10 minutes, know exactly where it's going, and hope devoutly that you're wrong. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Unfortunately, almost everything about the film is so unbelievable and misjudged that only the most gullible audiences will feel any transporting thrill at the end other than from the movie finally being over. Read full review

Liam Lacey

[Lange] does give the movie the only excitement it possesses -- the frisson of a hideous thrill -- but it's still an excruciating embarrassment. Read full review

Staff(Not credited)

Lange and Paltrow give it their all, but they can't save this one from plot holes, continuity mistakes, and heartlessness. Read full review

Barbara Shulgasser

Hush, which is an absurdly bad mixture of "Rosemary's Baby" and any Bette Davis movie from the 1960s, seems to be a classic case of a grasping mother trying to possess her beloved son. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Darby and co-screenwriter Michael Cristofer ("Breaking Up") telegraph every available bit of plot seemingly hours before it's necessary, resulting in a tawdry, boring mish-mash of genre clichés and arched eyebrows. Read full review

Stephen Holden

The movie... hasn't the foggiest notion whether it's a soap opera or a horror film, and wanders around in a generic fog. Read full review

This movie is thrilling and also exciting to watch at the same time. As movie shows the story, reality check, this happens. Good job with the actors!

What an incredible performance by Jessica Lange, fantastic and powerful performance by Gwyneth Paltrow, Hush was terrifying, scary, intense, and heart-pounding experience yet it was brilliantly well made and well acted, Hush was amazing.
