Snider C+ "Ambitious, but while it serves as a showcase for some terrific performances, it achieves the wrenching drama it's aiming for only intermittently."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A total downer and disappointment given writer and director Karen Moncrieff's poignant debut with Blue Car."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 8/10 "Unblinking and critical about female-rooted and female-specific concerns."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "Boasts many solid performances."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "A very unconventional way to tell a story we've seen about a million times, and for that (along with the lean 94-minute running time), I am thankful. Keep an eye on Moncrieff -- she's the real deal."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2/5 "click for full review"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis B+ "While some may find the film unrelentingly depressing, it is a richly acted, well written piece that deserves consideration."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "None of these little tales goes quite where you expect it will, which would make it riveting enough, but every single performance is a wonder of surprising emotion..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C- "The various tales amount to little on their own and fail to resonate outside of their narrow narrative confines."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Um elenco formidável (com destaque para Murphy e Hurt) ajuda a diretora-roteirista Moncrieff a contar uma série de histórias tristes, mas com belas promessas de redenção."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 7/10 "A well crafted five part ensemble drama of the toughest sort. Tight dialog, first rate acting and searing images make their statement on the tragedy of runaway abduction."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 4/5 "If you're weary of crime stories that follow the conventional path on the way to a generically inevitable conclusion, The Dead Girl is a title you might want to throw a red circle around."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 6/10 "Bleak and baleful, recommended only if you're into sinister desolation."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Page   1
