While 'Sweetness’ doesn’t quite resolve all of its ideas by the end, it’s tense and shocking enough to keep the adrenaline up. That Rylee is such an unexpected conduit for violence is just part of the film’s wicked sense of humor. Go to Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com Jul 24
It plays the hits with remarkable style and an acid tongue. Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com Mar 25
The movie gets sillier and more panicked as it goes, and there are sequences where it seems like it’s contriving excuses to keep going. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller FandomWire 6h
