Leave your thoughts about Bastard Out of Carolina.
| USA TodayMatt RoushUnforgettably, Bastard out of Carolina makes a bold statement about a little girl's grace under inordinate pressure. |
| VarietyGodfrey CheshireThe pic is a quality item earmarked for serious auds by its nonexploitative handling of potent material, the strong work of debuting helmer Anjelica Huston and striking perfs from young newcomer Jena Malone, Jennifer Jason Leigh and others. |
| Boston GlobeMichael BlowenmAnjelica Huston's directorial debut employs an impressive cast, and at times showcases a promising sense of style. But Bastard Out Of Carolina seems hollow at its center, due largely to the fact that Anne Meredith's screenplay doesn't make very good use of its source material. |
| Los Angeles TimesSteven LinanHuston manages to bring the unavoidable brutality of this story to the screen without seeming exploitative. And she gets good performances out of Malone, Leigh and Eldard. Glenne Headly gives a great performance as Leigh's saintly sister. |

| User ReviewKatishathis is a very sad movie how a mother does not even know what side that she wants to be on the man married or her children and how she had the nerve to let a man discipline her child to the point where she had to be taken to emergency room to find out that her tail bone was broken. right then she should have left him alone and worry about herself and her kids. |
| User ReviewDaNi BTHIS WAS SO GOOD... IT SHOCKED ME AND GOT TO ME. THE LITTLE GIRL IN THIS MOVIE WAS WONDERFUL FOR THE ROLE SHE PLAYED. |
