- 80Screen RantMae AbdulbakiScreen RantMae AbdulbakiThe film is bolstered by the strength of Cooke's magnetic performance and is energetically entertaining, heartbreakingly sad, and darkly humorous.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleBob StraussSan Francisco ChronicleBob StraussThe film simply wouldn’t be much, however, without Cooke’s quick-witted performance. She’s formidable and disarming at the same time, all the time. The character’s always got a line and, usually, a good move for any situation.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIt’s got a good enough cast, a couple of twists and enough brute force to it that it’s worth taking in on its own terms. Those terms being “We’re imitating the McDonagh Brothers, so what?”
- 60EmpireJohn NugentEmpireJohn NugentUneven, immature and a little derivative — but entertaining performances from Olivia Cooke and Alec Baldwin keeps Pixie watchable.
- 60Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaLos Angeles TimesMichael OrdoñaPixie isn’t exactly magical, but amusing enough whenever Cooke’s character casts her spell
- 50The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonThe Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonPixie is a trigger-happy comedy road movie that relies more on boorish energy than wit or charm.
- 30VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyA decent cast and fast pace make Pixie easy enough to take as disposable entertainment. Yet it also has that annoying edge unique to films that strike an attitude of rakish sophistication while actually serving up lowbrow quips about prison rape, fat people and menstruation.
- 25RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzRogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThe crime comedy Pixie dissolves in the mind as you're watching it. You've seen it before. And the "it" you've seen before is the most derivative version of "it."
