During a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, young secretary Eileen becomes enchanted by Rebecca, the glamorous new counselor at the prison where she works.
Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret — throwing Eileen onto a sinister path.
What the critics are saying:
"Eileen is a stylish and wild ride that never lets up from its first frame to its shocking finale."
-Murtada Elfadl, AV Club
"It’s both a tour de force for a cast led by Thomasin McKenzie and a sign that Oldroyd hasn’t lost his unsettling touch in the seven years since his last film."
- Steve Pond, TheWrap
"Eileen wants us to notice how the psychological brick house it’s been building all along explains the outcome. But the outcome almost doesn’t matter. The real joy is in the hungers we tasted along the way."
- K. Austin Collins, Rolling Stone
