David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter writes, “Director Kimberly Peirce’s respectful Carrie overhaul is an earnest yet engrossing take on the original. What’s more, it captures the tender, tortured mother-daughter conflict at the center of Stephen King’s indestructibly compelling story in vivid performances from Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.”
