She is known for playing the lead role in the film The Love Witch, directed by Anna Biller,[1] which was listed as one of the 30 "Best Movie Performances of the Century So Far" by The New Yorker.

Frank Scheck, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, called Robinson's performance "intense" and "alluring in a way that goes far beyond her lithe dancer's body and stunning looks.

"[14] Charles Bramesco wrote in Rolling Stone that director Biller and Robinson "have created a three-dimensional version of the stock eroticized woman.

"[16] The LA Times film critics Justin Chang and Michael Rechtshaffen called Robinson "superb" and "simultaneously channeling Tippi Hedren and '60s scream queen Barbara Steele," respectively.
