The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest | Ratings & Reviews

"Benefits from edge-of-your-seat pacing despite a conspicuous lack of action."

VarietyVariety

"Though talky and static in places, Nest satisfyingly wraps up an engrossing triptych, setting the bar high for David Fincher’s imminent remake(s). As ever, Rapace is ace."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Mr. Alfredson directed the second movie as well, and his work is again essentially functional, limited to clumsy action sequences and television-ready conversations. He doesn't prettify the violence in either movie, which might be unintentional but makes them feel more honest than the first did."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"It's a brisk conspiracy thriller about the moral deformations wrought by Sweden's neutrality during the second world war and the cold war, and the role of leftwing journalists to bring out the truth from a labyrinth of national intrigue."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"So what has happened is that this uptight, ferocious, little gamin Lisbeth has won our hearts, and we care about these stories and think there had better be more."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"Part III of bestselling trilogy leaves you wanting less."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"Rapace moves through the escalating exposure with a series of subtle shifts that are both painful and exquisite to watch. The actress can make eye contact seem like salt in an open wound."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"The movie features a great finish, where three movies' worth of subplots and characters dovetail into a breathtaking climax and final confrontation that is positively soul satisfying."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A pick-up after the second film, if not as assured as the first. Rapace sets a high watermark for Rooney Mara in David Fincher’s remakes."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"Lisbeth Salander rides again"
