Critics' reviews
  • "Performed to maximum effect by a host of top-flight actors, Ulu Grosbard's strong character study is knit together by a tense subtext that underlies even the calmest moments"
  • "A complex, deeply knowledgeable story about a truly lost soul and her downward spiral."
  • "Georgia is a tour de force for Leigh, and her portrayal of the troubled, passionate Sadie lingers in the mind long after many of the movie's plot details have faded"
  • "Quirky and nuanced, this movie has a lot to say about sibling rivalry and the current music scene."
