---|---|---|---|
United States | Variety | "Refigured from a never-made TV pilot, this shallow boarding school-set coming-of-ager traverses familiar territory without offering anything fresh." | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "The better moments are fleeting. More often, the film feels flat-footed, and the story plays out as you'd expect. Long before Tanner Hall ends, you may well find yourself wishing for the final bell." | NEG |
United States | AV Club | "The result isn't bad, it just lacks momentum and a strong reason for existing." | NEU |
United States | The New York Times | "An uneven drama set at a girls' boarding school, rarely rises above the generic, though its atmosphere of coddled young people indulging themselves in opulent surroundings is palpably authentic. | NEU |
United States | New York Daily News | "Most of the actresses are appealing, but ultimately not even the gifted Mara can keep the film from feeling like a gauzy portrait of privilege." | NEG |
