"EAT ME should be consumed fresh, with as few pre-conceived expectations as possible. It’s a film that ranges between whimsical, brutal, hilarious, and at times, just, uncomfortable... this small story carries big implications about the nature of darkness, morality, forgiveness, and strength." Modern Horror

‍Patrick for MODERN HORROR: “ Wright takes a bold risk with this film and it pays off in spades."

Wright magnificently portrays the suicidal protagonist. EAT ME succeeds by empathizing with both the victim and perpetrator, snowballing over its runtime into a shocking and disturbing conclusion, even to an audience already desensitized to over-the-top, grotesque violence.”

Robert Abele for THE L.A. TIMES: "Timely and affecting,  a tour-de-force howl of primal, damaged rage, "

“As gutbucket personal-project indies go, the volatile, graphic... “Eat Me” couldn’t have arrived at a more propitious time for a story about the nightmare of sexual assault. Except that actress/writer Jacqueline Wright’s adaptation of her controversial, trauma-inspired play doesn’t fit easily into categories like horror or thriller or issue drama... Wright’s and Carter’s committed mosh pit waltz of bloody, angry Act 2 unburdening — simultaneously garish and sensitive... No easy path to forgiveness... a tour-de-force howl of primal, damaged rage, it contributes to the current era of public reckoning and testy healing."

Frank Scheck for THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: " Wright baring herself both physically and emotionally."

“Few actresses have crafted such a challenging, debasing vehicle for themselves as this indie feature adapted from her play… The first half of Eat Me would seem to be the sort of twisted horror film designed for people who feast on depictions of violence and sexual abuse, while the second veers into John Cassavetes-influenced psychological territory… the film does exert a perverse fascination, the same sort that compels drivers to slow down while passing a horrific car accident. The performers deserve much of the credit, with Wright baring herself both physically and emotionally to dig deeply into her character’s tortured soul...”
