	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A small gem (...) Precise, controlled and emotionally acute (...) The film possesses an integrity and economy of means that earns respect"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The movie is exacting enough to transport you back in time (...) Dano, it’s immediately clear, is a natural-born filmmaker (...) The tale itself is resonant and absorbing"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"[It] leaves you deeply moved (...) And as for Mulligan, one word: Wow (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Carey Mulligan is on fire in Paul Dano’s stunningly beautiful directorial debut (...) A tender, gorgeous, and exquisitely understated drama"	POS
United States	Jordan Ruimy The Playlist	"Carey Mulligan shines (...) The film is easy to admire, but lacks the kinds of scenes necessary to truly make a emotional connection."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"The entire cast does exceptional work (Oxenbould is an exciting find), but the movie is anchored by Mulligan (...) Dano’s direction is meticulous in every respect"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang Slate	"A confident and compassionate first film (...) Its main raison d’être is Mulligan’s masterful turn as a thirtysomething woman"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s an extremely watchable movie, beautifully and even luxuriously appointed in its austere evocation of smalltown America (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"An accomplished, moving piece of filmmaking, one that cares about its characters and trusts its performers (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"The pauses are deep and resonant (...) The result is a careful, deliberate, slightly distanced treatment of stormy emotions — but it’s appropriate"	POS
United States	Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"Dano doesn't appear in his own movie, but its texture is of a piece with his courteous and careful performances, where he always seems to plead fruitlessly with an unjust world."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Paul Dano’s confident directorial debut (...) is intelligent, understated and guardedly emotional (...) The film is a wonderful showcase for Carey Mulligan"	POS
