Reception
Marie McNamara of the Age says Nihill's performance is a "masterful rendition" and calls the film a "tense, well-scripted drama." Leonie Lamont in the Sun-Herald said "Every Move She Makes is a disturbing movie. Alison Berger is a normal woman whose life is turned into a nightmare by her tormentor. It happen to anyone." In The Sydney Morning Herald Marian Theobald says it is "the best kind of thriller – if you have a high tolerance level for fear." Dennis Pryor in the Age says "This is not an easy film to write about. It is packed with ideas, images, symbols and perceptions of the way things are for women. Perhaps there are too many ideas to contain in a single film." John O'Hara writes in Cinema Papers "The film works better as a set of variations on a classic horror theme than as an extended account of female isolation in a contemporary male world."
