Reception

Critical response

Anusha Sundar of OTTPlay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Gentlewoman, much like its title, goes calm on its execution and writing choices, but makes a strong and powerful commentary on patriarchy, moralities, and choices that women make to be on in this society."[14] Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "The film takes its sweet time finding its rhythm, with a first half that feels like watching paint dry in artfully lit rooms. [...] Gentlewoman serves up a satisfying meditation on the consequences of treating women as disposable. In this household, justice is a dish best served cold."[15] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Gentlewoman pushes the audience into ethical ambiguity, much like the film’s characters. While the first half is dedicated to setting the stage and conflict, Gentlewoman truly finds its rhythm in the second half. "[16] Ananda Vikatan critic wrote that "The screenplay travels along with excitement and tears"[17] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News18 rated 3.5/5 and stated that "Nevertheless, Gentlewoman is a rare specimen in Tamil cinema just for the simple fact that it bets a lot on the poetic idea than on the logistics and the rationality".[18]
