An ingenious black comedy written and directed by James Westby, comes at you like a horror movie before settling down into something quieter but equally skin crawling. Read full review

Bracingly original, alarming and droll, the righteously ribald Rid of Me should prove a breakthrough for helmer James Westby and his producer and leading lady, Katie O'Grady. Read full review

Rid of Me is a ragged film that doesn't always work. Beyond just the midpoint shift, it does seem frequently uneven tonally. Read full review

O'Grady is very good, but she can't make the hard-to-watch Rid of Me dramatically credible. Read full review

At once hopelessly amateurish and given to desperate assertions of auterist "virtuosity." Read full review
