The various roles have received different levels of critical reception. IT: Chapter Two has been more divisive compared to its predecessor, while the fantasy horror movie Hansel & Gretel has received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Despite these two projects, Lillis has consistently maintained a nearly-complete string of "Fresh" ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Both the Stephen King sequel and Oz Perkins adaptation have been rated at 62 percent.
Lillis recently achieved her highest score yet with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which currently stands at an impressive 91 percent "Certified Fresh" with an audience score that is two points higher. While its reviews may change after its wide release, The Adults is already continuing Lillis' winning streak in the film industry. It opened to a perfect 100 percent rating at both the Berlin and Karlovy Vary film festivals, and at the time of writing, it has a rating of 86 percent. With Lillis showcasing her talents in a variety of projects, from blockbusters to indie films, it will be intriguing to see what her next move will be.
The Adults will be released theatrically by Variance Films in select US theaters on August 18.
