- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Working from a script she wrote with producer Andy Ruben, director Katt Shea gets some sexy vibes going, and the atmospherically lit production has an unexpected visual distinction."
-
"'Poison Ivy' doesn't exactly keep one at the edge of one's seat throughout, but it certainly holds the interest."
-
"Is Poison Ivy a total waste of time? Not really: there's a nice surprise in Barrymore's femme fatale performance, and more than a few pleasures from the gifted Sara Gilbert. Long may they act"
-
"While 'Poison Ivy' tries hard to work up a sweat, it ends up so over the top that it can’t help but go splat."
