	Author	Review
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"Uma Thurman delivers a mesmerizing performance in 'The Life Before Her Eyes', a film that, once seen and fully digested, exerts the same haunting pull as the shattering events it chronicles."	POS

United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Plays an irritating game of narrative hide-and-seek, continually doubling back on itself (...) Tidy, predictable, excruciatingly fussy in its details and lacking the tiniest glimmer of humor"	NEG
