Radio Times Abby Robinson

While the red-raw anguish and anger of Lorna and the other women remains front and centre, the narrative never feels overwhelmed by the weight of their loss, courtesy of a genre-hopping style that cycles through psychological thriller, comedy, horror and murder mystery. .... One of the year's most daring and best. Read full review

David Cote

If in its back end the series devolves into a more formulaic whodunit and tale of Catholic Church coverups, the fine cast keeps you emotionally engaged and the filmmaking is fairly lush, with Harry Wootliff and Rachna Suri alternating directing duties on the six-episode season. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

It is beautifully and harrowingly done. And – such a rarity this – the gothic element, spilling out of Lorna’s mind and home, feels not like a bolt-on to add drama lacking elsewhere but an integral part of the story. Read full review

The Woman In The Wall succeeds because of the lead performance by Ruth Wilson as well as the grey areas that the tragedy of the Magdalene Laundries caused. Read full review

The Woman in the Wall isn’t particularly subtle about its themes or the larger messages it wants viewers to take away from it. (It’s unfortunate how timely these conversations about female bodily autonomy remain today, is all I’m saying.) Nor is it always a particularly easy watch. But whether you take it as a lesson, a cautionary tale, or something in between, at its core is a truth that deserves to be heard. Read full review

The experimental aspect concerns Wilson’s courage as a performer and creator Joe Murtagh’s refreshing but genuinely challenging lack of interest in making traumatized people palatable. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Nov 27, 2023

Creator Joe Murtagh and director Harry Wootliff can’t quite stick the landing. The result relies too often on pained expressions, distorted flashbacks, and cop drama tropes to really do this story justice. Read full review
