Reaction: Not a big hit, but it continues the success of the Erotic genre for the studio. It is also a step in the right direction for writer Jacob Jones following the massive flop of The Saints back in Round 1.
"Lynne Ramsey showcases why she should be a serious Best Director candidate every season she's on. But it's well plotted script gets lowered by being too much like a mixture of Basic Instincts & American Psycho in a someway cliche fashion. The cast is game but they can't save it all from an uneven pacing & tone." - Rebecca Cruyssen, CNN.com
"Despite Victoria Pedretti and Jacob Elordi lighting up the screen when they have scenes together, Tara's Web feels like a parody of erotic thriller/drama films suring many moments throughout. Perhaps writer Jacob Jones should have focused harder on the two of them, because anytime the supporting players come into a scene it feels like a completely different movie from a completely different genre." - Katie Barnes, Washington Herald
"The two leads roles are impecably filled by the talents of Victoria Pedretti and Jacob Elordi. They have good chemistry and are tailor-made for the roles writer Jacob Jones and director Lynne Ramsay have in mind for them. The story built around them is decent, although there are some very abrupt tonal shifts at times that make you wonder if you're supposed to even be taking the story seriously." - Robert Avery, San Jose Mercury
