Media Author Review
United States
Entertainment Weekly
"An offbeat pic pointlessly oversaturated with grating characters who look like they got lost on their way to a John Waters fan club convention"
United States
The New York Times
"Though 'Roxy Carmichael' is never as fresh or powerful as it might have been, it is a sweetly engaging film in the Barry Levinson school: just when you think it might fall into a bottomless pit of sentimentality, it stops short." 
Canada
The Globe and Mail
"Major surgery has been known to take less time and give more pleasure than this forgettable flick."
United States
Chicago Tribune
"The character played by Ryder is really the centerpiece of the story, and she is the best part of this slight story...The rest of the movie is a fairly standard portrait of small-town life"
United States
Variety
"Fans of Winona Ryder will definitely want to catch her in an offbeat role as the town rebel in this teen-oriented smalltown saga; unfortunately, the rest of the production doesn't quite match up." 
United Kingdom
Empire
"Borderline dreadful waste of potential"
