Todd Gilchrist TheWrap Sep 27, 2019
Not only fully delivers the conventions of genre and storytelling that audiences expect from the film's premise, but it also elevates and refines them to a sharp point. Go to Full Review

A lean creature feature that could have used just a little extra meat on its bones. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey Variety Feb 12, 2019
Not quite original or stylish enough to be memorable. Go to Full Review
Ian Bunting Daily Record (UK) Mar 5, 2025
Dillard and co-writers Alex Hyner and Alex Theurer’s script cleverly turns expected tropes on their head and refuses to burden Jenn with the type of dumb decision making to inflict many a horror heroine. Go to Full Review

B-
The film itself could've used more of an edge. Because once you carve out the lead performance and the central theme, Sweetheart is just your run-of-the-mill-sole-survivor-stranded-on-a-deserted-island-fending-off-a-carnivorous-aquatic-monster movie. Go to Full Review
Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Apr 20, 2022
In many ways, Sweetheart is a very simple but effective story; a gorgeously shot creature-feature-survival-horror that does a lot with a little, elevates the genre, while also building sustainable tension around a terrific lead. Go to Full Review
