"While Emma Watson struggles a bit trying to lead the film, Joe Wright has assembled a solid supporting cast and directs the film with a strong eye." - Chris Mears, Slashfilm
"The Queen of the Night is a well-made, good looking film, and the cast is talented enough, but there is just a disconnect with the material that results in a fairly bland film with little intrigue and a lead character with a near complete lack of personability." - Brian Edelstein, Time Out
"It's not a perfect film by any means, but the spectacle and scope of the film are impressive. The opera-themed tale isn't always the most accessible, but director Joe Wright and screenwriter H.G. Hansen do a pretty good job of keeping things as clear as they can." - Sean Williamson, Toronto Star

Rated PG-13 for some violence, thematic material and some sensuality.
