	Media	Author	Review
		Andrew Barker Variety	"A key to the success of this giddily postmodern, subtly disturbing splatter-farce is its general disinterest in playing spot-the-reference, instead taking style cues from its own central pair"
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'Tragedy Girls' proves neither funny nor scary enough to be distinctive (...) Watchable enough thanks to the charismatic performances by [Hildebrand and Shipp]"
		Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"Although 'Tragedy Girls' is up-to-date on tweets and technology, its high school dynamics conform to familiar tropes (...) The movie’s gender stereotypes keep it chained to the past."
		Tatiana Craine Village Voice	"MacIntyre and Chris Lee Hill’s screenplay is rife with absurdity, glorious carnage, jet-black humor — and best of all, a solid relationship at its core (...) These sweet sociopaths really hook you."
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The movie’s central idea and bright young cast are so good that some of its shallowness is forgivable."
		Henry Stewart Slant	"The film’s central theme (...) isn’t quite sufficient to sustain an entire feature. Throughout, the narrative padding is conspicuous (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
