Tessa Thompson<\/strong>\u2018s new drama movie, Hedda<\/strong>, is receiving widespread acclaim from critics, resulting in an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta (The Marvels), Hedda is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen\u2019s 1891 play Hedda Gabler. Notably, Thompson and DaCosta previously worked together on the latter\u2019s directorial debut feature, the 2018 crime drama Little Woods, as well as the MCU movie The Marvels.<\/p>\n Amon Warmann of Empire Magazine<\/a> praised Thompson\u2019s performance in the movie. \u201cTessa Thompson has never been better as the titular not-so-desperate housewife in Nia DaCosta\u2019s bold, stylish reimagining of Henrik Ibsen\u2019s timeless play,\u201d Warmann wrote.<\/p>\n Inverse<\/a>\u2018s Lyvie Scott compared the tension in Hedda\u2019s plot to a pressure cooker. Scott added that this turns the movie into \u201ca diabolical psychological thriller\u201d and launches \u201cHedda the character into the pantheon of the monstrous feminine.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Wendy Ide of The Observer (UK)<\/a> noted that the movie is \u201cas treacherous and unpredictable as Hedda herself.\u201d Ide accepted that not everything in Hedda works, before adding, \u201cBut Thompson is glorious \u2013 all weaponised ennui, languid malice and impeccable tailoring.\u201d<\/p>\n Linda Marric of The Sun (UK) <\/a>also gave Hedda a glowing review. \u201cStylish, witty, and wickedly entertaining, Hedda proves director Nia DaCosta\u2019s flair for reinventing the familiar,\u201d Marric wrote.<\/p>\n TheWrap<\/a>\u2018s William Bibbiani hailed Hedda as \u201ca sensual, ingenious update of Ibsen\u2019s classic play, honoring the grand theatrical tradition and transforming it into new, ecstatic cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time of this article\u2019s composition, Hedda has a 90% approval rating on the review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> after 77 reviews. This number will likely change as more critics share their opinions in the coming days.<\/p>\n Hedda premiered at this year\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 7, 2025. It debuted in select theaters in the US on October 22, before coming out on Amazon Prime Video today.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post The Marvels Director\u2019s New Movie Wins Over Critics, Gets High RT Score<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tessa Thompson\u2018s new drama movie, Hedda, is receiving widespread acclaim from critics, resulting in an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score.
