Meanwhile, many appreciated the performances of the lead characters. “Hailee Steinfeld really comes into her own as Gwen Stacy and her scenes with Shea Whigham’s Captain Stacy are truly special. It’s darker and sadder than I expected, but necessary,” said Brain Davids, a writer at The Hollywood Reporter.

Hailee Steinfeld really comes into her own as Gwen Stacy, and her scenes with Shea Whigham's Captain Stacy are truly special.
