Critics: “Mara's performance has a ferocity that will linger in your mind long after the two or three endings have faded.” - Arizona Republic“

"Rooney Mara tears it up as Lisbeth Salander. Mara is prettier and more fragile than Noomi Rapace, but she’s also more dead behind the eyes, more haunted.” - Time Out

“This fastidious, technically stellar Hollywood telling of one of the great literary sensations of recent times is highlighted by a bewitching performance from Rooney Mara as the punked-out computer research whiz Lisbeth Salander and remains an absorbing story, as it was on the page and in the 2009 Swedish screen version.” - The Hollywood Reporter
