Reception



Critical response


On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a "Certified Fresh" approval rating of 88%, based on reviews from 99 critics, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Violation presents a powerful depiction of one woman's trauma -- and its uncomfortably gripping aftermath."[10] Violation, which is described as "decidedly dark, potentially dangerous and probably deranged" and "flips the revenge genre on its head", was selected for the "Fantastic 7" genre festival initiative to highlight genre films at seven international film festivals.[11] Critic Mike Crisolago has named it one of 30 films he is already "excited to see."[2] Now Toronto critic Norman Wilner called it "a major levelling up of their signature combination of rage and intensity".[12] According to Variety reviewer Tomris Laffley, "Despite some heavy-handed choices, Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli pack a profound gut-punch with their debut feature."[13]


Awards and nominations


The film received five Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021, for Best Actress (Sims-Fewer), Best Supporting Actor (LaVercombe), Best Sound Editing (Matthew Chan, Ida Marci), Best Sound Mixing (Matthew Chan) and the John Dunning Best First Feature Award.[14]
