Colbert explores these ideas of boundaries, of both distinct and disappearing space, with a comfortable fluidity in a film where the potential mostly outweighs the execution.

In Ghent, Colbert explores how trauma distorts both the passage of time and reality itself, and how perspective and purpose are ultimately constructs that can — over a lifetime — evolve or evaporate.

She Will is an elegant debut from Colbert, who manifests different gothic horror elements within the narrative and cinematography.

She Will forces us to pay attention to our mother daughter relationships, women's horrors, and real world consequences.

A reverie that avoids a classic narrative yet isn't daring enough to be abstract, and so it lives between genres: drama, terror, comedy, and supernatural action... lacking the identity it needs to become defining. [Full review in Spanish]

The best part of the film is the performances of the cast members. Krige and Eberhardt play very well off of each other.

Simmering away beneath the conventional surface are well-meaning but clunkily handled themes of misogyny and embedded female trauma

The horror movie She Will is a female revenge tale that's heavy on atmospheric images but lacks substance in storytelling and character development. Too much of the movie is dull and meandering, with no surprises.

Although this film boasts absolutely magical scenery and cinematography, the characters are too detailed for its feature runtime which leads to the end of the film feeling rushed.

Colbert has crafted an impressive and moody horror film that takes swipes at the guru types who offer salvation at a price and the media that will defile a woman for aging but praise an abuser for longevity.

Marries the spiralling, self-reflexive narrative of Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House with echoes of the off-kilter visual sensibility of the 1962 cult oddity Carnival of Souls.

Subtle and clever, She Will serves up horror elements but uses them in unexpected ways. Its a feminist take on the genre, but don’t let that scare you. It works.

This is a very powerful film -- not so much good as disquieting and effective.

No wonder it’s executive produced by Suspiria director Dario Argento. It weaves, arachnid-like, in the same dreamy patterns as his abundant body of work.

Ed Potton The Times (UK) Jul 22, 2022 4/5

She Will is somewhere between a feminist revenge horror and an arthouse psychodrama. Don’t expect too much in the way of scores or gore but it’s rum, stylish and sometimes strikingly original.

Visually and sonically, the elements for a compelling cinematic experience are there, and yet a crucial ingredient is missing.

She Will (even the title has several readings and meanings) is sometimes too murky for its own good, but its a memorable debut from Ghent, and I'm genuinely excited to see what she brings us moving forward.
