	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Where Is Kyra?' is a powerfully moody character study anchored by a remarkable performance from Michelle Pfeiffer"	POS
United States	Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"There are a number of [beautiful] moments (...) It’s unfortunate they do not coalesce into a cohesive and compelling piece of cinema."	NEG
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"'Where is Kyra?' sheds a most exquisitely modulated penumbral light on those in the margins of society that would normally remain invisible."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"There’s an awful lot of ravishing beauty on display in 'Where Is Kyra?' (...) Pfeiffer rather selflessly applies herself as a component in Dosunmu’s intoxicating mise-en-scène"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"[An] imperfect but undeniably haunting showcase for the actress (...) While her story is unfailingly gorgeous, the stiff aesthetic has a stultifying effect on the developing tension."	NEU
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"Michelle Pfeiffer excels in an intimate story (...) Pfeiffer is nothing short of heartbreaking in a part that requires her to be completely unvarnished (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"One needs to be in the right mood for an experience like this (...) But it depicts that punishing world with singular artistry."	POS
United States	Ruth Kinane Entertainment Weekly	"At every beat, Pfeiffer poignantly conveys Kyra’s misery (...) And the actress’ finesse makes it worth the watch."	POS
