Leave your thoughts about Claire in Motion.
| Consequence of SoundRandall ColburnAny sense of mystery or suspense quickly dissipates as the film returns again and again to repetitive and terse exchanges between Claire and Allison, whose revelations aren’t as surprising as they’re probably intended to be. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenBetsy Brandt gives a compelling performance as the title character whose spirit is slowly breaking, a woman of the arts faced with a painful and personal manifestation of ambiguity. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangFor the most part, nothing about Claire in Motion seems overly calculated. It knows precisely where it’s going, but it’s also wise enough to leave that destination open-ended. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThose who seek neat narrative resolution to any mystery may leave underwhelmed. Still, the hard-won acceptance of uncertainty that Robinson and Howell allow their protagonist provides its own, more abstract satisfaction. |
| TheWrapClaudia PuigClaire in Motion has an appealing stillness and intensity. It works as both a quiet, meditative study of grief and a muted examination of identity, but not as a compelling mystery. |
| IndiewireKate ErblandToo heavy-handed and clumsy to land with a real knockout punch, Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson’s second feature benefits immensely from the quietly moving work of its lead, Besty Brandt. |
| The Hollywood OutsiderAaron PetersonAn intelligently told character piece about one woman's journey to self-discovery, with a multi-layered performance from Betsy Brandt. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThings are kept real, but that's not necessarily a virtue. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfSteady and sincere, even when it teases conventional conflict and resolution...Brandt is terrific. |
| Village VoiceApril WolfeHowell and Robinson go all-in on Claire’s measured mourning, and while it may be realistic, that detachment — along with a relentlessly clinical gray-tinged color palette — ultimately bogs down whatever momentum Claire in Motion might be working up to. |
