- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Brougher has taken material that sounds contrived and potentially exploitative and used her gift for careful observation and restrained emotionality to give it surprising authenticity."
-
"Without standing on a soapbox Stephanie Daley suggests a tragic gender gap between men who judge and women who feel."
-
"The movie amounts to an extended short story that progresses slowly and fades away with key questions unanswered. Ambiguity isn't necessarily interesting."
-
"There is so much to admire and empathize with in Stephanie Daley that it feels almost boorish to quibble about whether the film needs to come packaged as a murder mystery."
-
"The film itself is dark and chilling, if occasionally plodding, but worth seeing for the absorbing potency of its main performances."
-
"A stark, painful drama about pregnancy--a subject rarely treated this fully, candidly or tragically."
-
"A taut, provocative, sometimes overreaching but always absorbing thriller."
