The performances and casting are suitable, but Carrie is half the film I'd hope Peirce would make of it.October 21, 2013
The movie is very good, both as a first-order viewing experience and as a contemporary gloss on Brian De Palma's classic 1976 adaptation of Stephen King's novel.October 21, 2013
Rather than fixing some of the problems with De Palma's approach and trying something fresh, Peirce compounds them.November 26, 2013
Chloe Moretz is unnervingly talented, but Carrie is not a role she was born to play. She hasn't a victim's bone in her body and fluffs the early scenes.October 18, 2013
Peirce is gifted, but she lacks the ability of directors like DePalma to transform schlock into something deeply personal.July 15, 2015
Sensitively directed and powerfully acted, the new version passes muster as a different take.April 23, 2015
A tired, unneeded copy of Brian De Palma's far superior work, with the small changes it makes adding nothing of significance.August 24, 2015
What the new Carrie lacks in original ideas, it makes up for in many other departments.April 09, 2016
It's a small miracle that the picture doesn't lean too heavily on one particular topic du jour - bullying - and a major miracle that it's a respectable film, to boot.October 22, 2013
It is a timeless thing for all of us, the ritual of high-school expectation and heartache. Once again, as it did nearly 40 years ago, Carrie turns it into an experience of biblical proportions.March 17, 2017
Optimistically speaking, Carrie could have been worse. But the depressing truth is that it could have been so much better.
