IGNRosie KnightNov 12, 2019
An entertaining plot, impressive script, fantastic cast, and awesomely shot action make Charlie's Angels one of the most unexpectedly fun films of the year. Read full review

EmpireElla KempNov 16, 2019
What could have been a watery rehash is a fresh, exciting update on an attractive story that previously got lost in its own glamour. Do not underestimate these women. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBeandrea JulyNov 12, 2019
Banks brings Charlie’s Angels into the modern age with flair, all while unapologetically raising a feminist flag, championing female friendships and subtly making a point about the urgency of the ongoing climate crisis. Read full review

Of course, the clothes are great: racks of shimmery, sequined knockouts and rows of fierce pumps. And it wouldn’t be a “Charlie’s Angels” adventure without a variety of wild costumes for the ladies to don for their undercover assignments as well as an assortment of high-tech gadgets.

USA TodayBrian TruittNov 14, 2019
This heavenly action-comedy takes on familiar elements of John Wick and James Bond but is sufficiently empowering – “Women can do anything” is literally the first line in the movie. There's also an unexpectedly dark edge throughout for the new "Angels," from gallows humor to actual dangerous stakes for our butt-kicking crew. Read full review

ConsequenceBlake GobleNov 12, 2019
It’s got twists without being tawdry. Attitude, with sincerity. And Banks offers a reasonable rebuke to past ickiness, playing up the best elements of an old TV show’s original idea. Charlie’s Angels 2019 flies in the face of its tricky franchise past, and makes for a solid evening’s entertainment. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichNov 12, 2019
Nobody really asked for another “Charlie’s Angels” reboot, but this one will leave you eager for more. It seems these women might still have the element of surprise on their side, after all. Read full review

Arizona RepublicGarrett MitchellNov 21, 2019
Banks' enthusiasm and respect for the history of this franchise takes it from retrograde to fresh within minutes. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanNov 12, 2019
The movie is relentless, it’s pulpy and exciting, it’s unabashedly derivative, and at an hour and 58 minutes it’s a little too much of a rousingly of-the-moment feministic but still rather standard-issue thing. Read full review

Austin ChronicleBeth SullivanNov 13, 2019
Charlie’s Angels isn’t revolutionary by any means, but for today’s Gen Z, it’s a jumping-off point. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichNov 12, 2019
This new Charlie’s Angels gets very crush-y between silly excess and striving ambition, but even the sugar is flammable. Read full review

PolygonKeith PhippsNov 22, 2019
The film emerges as a perfectly agreeable action movie, one that’s both true to the concept of Charlie’s Angels, and probably unrecognizable to anyone time-traveling from the 1970s. That’s okay, though. Some concepts have to evolve to survive. Read full review

Vanity FairRichard LawsonNov 14, 2019
A part-clever, part-misshapen global caper, Charlie’s Angels—like Stewart—connects a few solid kicks in all its flailing. Read full review

TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanNov 12, 2019
These women wear what they want, love who they want, find fulfillment in their power, and support each other unconditionally. They’re not undermined by a script that highlights their flaws or insecurities, or a camera that reflexively leers at them. They get to just be, with all the freedoms and potential of any other fictional heroes. Read full review

New York PostJohnny OleksinskiNov 13, 2019
Scott and Balinska are capable, but bland. The actress who gets most in the oversize spirit of the occasion is Stewart, showing more personality and comic chops than she has before. Read full review

Boston GlobeTom RussoNov 13, 2019
What’s most entertaining here, ultimately, is the performance that Stewart turns in as outspoken, play-it-loose Sabina, a completely unexpected, who-knew mash-up of sexy and offbeat. Read full review

Washington PostMark LiebermanNov 13, 2019
Stewart’s unexpected casting here, in a frothy action comedy, injects the movie with a shot of much-needed unpredictability. Of all the Angels, she works the hardest, ensuring that the movie isn’t forgettable. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsNov 12, 2019
I wish there were as many big payoffs and clever jokes as there are Bosleys in this movie. But Stewart and company have their fun, and we have a reasonable percentage of theirs. Read full review
